Rubber Eraser Day |
Yes, we all make mistakes, so erasers are good. But, they weren't always called erasers. They were originally called "rubbers" because the tree resin used to make them "rubbed out" marks made by pencils - and they are still called "rubbers" in Great Britain today. The first patent for attaching an eraser to a pencil was issued in 1858, but many pencils are still sold without erasers. None of them are at my house. |
