These erasers are an outstanding example of office supplies from days past. Those of you who used a typewriter remember these Secrets To Neatness. All except the two on the right are made by Pedigree which was owned by the Empire Pencil Company in Shelbyville Tennessee. The one with the flowers second from the right is made by Eberhard Faber in Pennsylvania. The loose one on the far right is a current pencil eraser from China. If you can find these, add them to your collection. The ones from the 60s and 70s still on their cards are getting harder to find.
Oh boy do I remember these. I think I used up a few when I was in graduate school, when all we had were typewriters and carbon paper. Fun to see them, again.
ReplyDeleteI loved these things as a kid. I don't know why, I never had any use for them. Seeing them brings back memories.
ReplyDeleteI remember having the third one from the left when my mother let me used her portable typewriter when I was a teen in the late 1970s/early 1980s. This was used a lot before the little rectangles of white out and the liquid paper came out. I always seemed to rub a hole in the paper before erasing the mistake.
ReplyDeleteI remember these! I'm glad that the days of typewriters are past (in terms of everyday business). Making corrections was not simple!
