Description: Vintage pink erasers in silver metal fittings, for older-model Cross Century mechanical pencils. In original tube packaging from Cross in Lincoln, Rhode Island. Each tube listed for sale contains three erasers. (Product box in photo 1 not included.) Unfortunately, no one is producing erasers for these Century pencils that last decades. Hoping some enterprising person will step up so they'll stay in use. In the meantime, three should last a long time if used sparingly, and indefinitely to keep the leads from falling out of your pencil. The vintage eraser measures just over 5mm, and with the fitting, just under 6mm. They fit my old Cross Century mechanical pencils that use 7mm leads, are retractable, and have internal lead storage. Both those with pocket clip and without (the anachronistic but lovely "Lady" pencils). I do not know about other vintage pencil models. They will NOT fit more recent Cross Century pencils, based on my collection (last 2 photos), including: --Pencils with lead storage that are not retractable (black lacquer, which I got as a warranty exchange c. 2010s, with thinner 5-6mm leads). (Cross and commercial alternatives are available.) --Pencils with combined 5mm lead/eraser cartridges that are also nonretractable. (Chrome Amazon purchase in last ~5 years.) Note: I'm trying to get the postage cost down, but using "calculated rates" just gives the highest retail rate. Until I figure it out with ebay, going with the flat rate.
