I recently found some old Venus Type-E-Rase pencil erasers with the brush ferrule. Since the rubber eraser core is long since age hardened they’re essentially useless except for the little brush on the end. So I thought it might be cool to convert one to a dedicated eraser using a repurposed ACE ferrule. Though I don’t know if this is an original idea or not, I don’t think I’ve seen anyone show one, so I thought I’d share it with everyone here. If anything it maybe a good way to get some use out of the myriad of vintage pencil eraser brush guys that are no longer usable since the eraser has age hardened. I’ve already made a video on how I make hackwings so maybe this might make a good subject for a short.

Despite round pencils not being my first choice I’ve been wanting to add the round variant of EF Mongols to my collection for some time but have not come across them in my hunting. So imagine my surprise when my father gifted me this set of 11 in the original box for my birthday recently! He had no idea I was even looking for some round ones he just saw a box of old pencils at an antique shop in the glass case and thought I might like them. I was quite excited to open up the gift to see a vintage box of mongols. Then doubly surprised when I pushed them open and saw that they were round!
