S is for Serious Score!

Look what I found! So pleased to get these, probably paid over the odds or certainly more than I am normally comfortable with (read tight as a gnat's chuff), but I'm not sure I even knew these existed and came across them looking of something else entirely! They may have been on Moonbase, but if they were loose, I would have just assumed colour variations of the sucker ones we've already seen here at Small Scale World?

But they are technically pencil rubbers! Or 'erasers' as they are usually called these days, but as I've pointed-out before; they were pencil rubbers when I wer't lad! The Lik Be / LB robots re-purposed by a sub-pirater (engraved quality is particularly poor) and maybe dating only as far back as the late 1980's or early 1990's? There's no CE mark so it predates 1993 I think?

I would add that the rubber, as far as I can tell through the thermal-shrink sheet is a silicon type and probably not suitable for actually removing pencil from paper!

I couldn't decide whether or not to de-card them so erred on the side of caution and left them be for now, but here's a few other angles, they are what they are and I'm just glad to have found them.

  2. I won't Bill! Or I haven't yet . . . still looking for a duplicate, or the other three? They're not really erasers, they are the same material as the 'jiggler' ones, just pastel shades!
