Does anybody know where I can obtain an"Eraser Pencil"?
A long thin core of rubber containing very fine grit with a covering of wood or paper that is very similar to a pencil.
I use them to clean corroded battery contacts on HTs.
Typists used to use them to erase mistakes on typewritten pages back in the days b-4 word processors.
I had several of them over the years, but now i have used up my last one.
I sort of overspecified my description of them,
but when I asked folks at Staples or Office Depot and several thirty-somethings where to get one,
they didn't have a clue about what I was talking about.
A typical reaction was along the line of:
"A pencil that is an eraser?!?!
Are you daft?"
Any how, does anybody know where I can get one?
