I wanted to pass along some sources I have discovered for erasers and lead for Waterman's pencils. I have acquired pencils with Military Clip, 92V, and Lady Patrician. They all had hardened useless erasers, so I measured them and went on a little hunt. It turns out I had .9mm Cross Century from the late 70s or early 80s and the eraser was the perfect size. I ordered some Cross part # 8403 erasers and they are a perfect fit. I retained the brass base from the old erasers, fit the new eraser in and it looks great. I was also able to source 1.1mm leads which many of the pencils use from Autopoint, Inc. The erasers can be ordered from Cross, or Goldspot Pens. Goldspot Pens also vends through Amazon, but marks up 30% to cover the "free" shipping.
