Description: | Copper-alloy eraser with iron concretions adhering, especially on the eraser. The eraser is divided from the shaft by a collar of two rings, bulbous ring, and two rings. The two upper rings are wider than the lower two as the shaft/eraser keeps widening. The shaft is circular-sectioned. The collar mouldings are indistinct on both sides, partly through corrosion, but seem to have been ill-defined when originally made. The eraser extends out of the shaft evenly on both sides, and the top is now corroded and pitted but some original surface patination suggests that the end of the eraser tip is more or less original and little has been lost.Length: 53mm; Shaft Diameter: 3.25mm; Eraser Width: 12.25mm; Eraser Length: 22mm but broken.Object identification and description courtesy of Tim Pestell.
