Esterbrook erasers and lead

In one of the earlier messages someone asked about Esterbrook eraser
replacement size. This is what I use:

The Esterbrooks take a Parker Ref. E16 DIA 6 mm eraser.

While talking Esterbrook, they use 1.1 mm DIA. long leads. Scriptos are the
ones I try to get when I can find them.

I agree with whoever said that the modern erasers are something to joke
about until you need
to use one; that's when I use a different vocabulary (chuckling). The
Pelikan 800
may be the biggest offender, with Stipula coming in a close second.

Best, Ken.

Thanks, Ken... that would have been me, 6/14/05 "Mechanical Pencils"
thread. I'll look for these erasers.
