Parker and Eversharp were two of the most prominent names in the writing instrument industry. After Parker acquired the Eversharp pen and pencil division in 1957, they cross-branded many accessories. These specific refills likely date from the late 1950s to the mid-1960s.

Here is the technical and historical data for this listing:

Product Specifications

• Brand: Parker / Eversharp (Joint branding)

• Product Line: Writefine

• Item Number: 6-809-8

• Components: Each refill consists of a red/pink rubber eraser seated in a metal ferrule (sleeve).

• Original Retail Price: $0.49 for a pack of three.

• Manufacturing Origin: Made in U.S.A.

• Packaging Type: Cardboard "tube" or "capsule" style. The green section slides into the pink cap.

Historical Context

• The Merger: Eversharp was a pioneer in mechanical pencils (notably the "Symphony" and "Skyline" series). Parker, famous for the '51' and '61' pens, bought Eversharp's writing instrument division in 1957. This explains why both logos appear on the packaging.

• The "Writefine" Branding: This was Eversharp’s designation for their high-quality, thinner lead mechanical pencils. The erasers were designed to fit specific "Writefine" models which featured a plug-in style eraser housing rather than a simple friction-fit rubber.

• Material: The metal ferrules are typical of mid-century quality, designed to prevent the eraser from wobbling or breaking during heavy use.

Condition & Collector Notes:

• Packaging: The green and pink cardboard tubes are in "New Old Stock" (NOS) condition. The graphics remain sharp with the iconic Parker "Halo" logo and the Eversharp block lettering.

• Utility: Note for buyers that while these are highly collectible, vintage rubber can harden over 60+ years. Collectors often buy these to complete the original kit for a vintage pencil rather than for daily erasing.
