    Those white erasers were "the standard" for drafting work, as they
    erased cleanly.  However, there's really no "magic" in that particular
    model, there were other white erasers that worked just as well, a
    common one being the Eberhard Faber "Magic Rub" 1954.

    "Magic Rub" 1954 is still around, look for either Sanford -OR-
    Prismacolor 70503. Many art and craft stores sell them.
