Hymen L. Lipman is credited with registering the first patent for a pencil with an attached eraser on March 30, 1858. You can find out more about him at the information below.
Hymen Lipman, an American inventor, received the first patent for attaching an eraser to the end of a pencil in 1858. However, this design was later revised by Hyman Lipman and Joseph Reckendorfer in 1875, leading to a legal dispute over the patent rights, which ultimately established the eraser-tipped pencil we use today.
Hymen Lipman made it possible for students to write in pencil and erase mistakes without having to do it with two separate devices when he attached the latter to the former. Now, whomever decided that the typical color for a pencil should be yellow and the eraser pink, is fodder for a follow-up question or two!

In 1776, scientist Joseph Priestley noted, "I have seen a substance excellently adapted to the purpose of wiping from paper the mark of black lead pencil." Also in 1770, Edward Naime, an English engineer, is credited with creating the first rubber eraser, and reportedly sold natural rubber erasers for the high price of 3 shillings per half-inch cube. According to Naime, he inadvertently picked up a piece of rubber instead of breadcrumbs, discovered rubber's erasing properties, and began selling rubber erasers. Incidentally, this was the first practical application of the substance in Europe, and rubbing out the pencil marks gave it its English name. The first patent for attaching an eraser to a pencil was issued in 1858 to a man from Philadelphia named Hyman Lipman. This patent was later held to be invalid because it was merely the combination of two things, without a new use.
