BLACK HISTORY MONTH: John Love




On November 23, 1897, Love patented the pencil sharpener which called for a user to turn a crank and rotor off thin slices of wood from the pencil until a point was formed.
Four years earlier, Love created and patented his Plasterer's Hawk. This device, a flat square piece of board made of wood or metal, upon which plaster or mortar was placed and then spread by plasterers or masons. This device was patented on July 9, 1895.

Happy Black History Month!

Keep Fresh And Have Fun.
