library tools

["Smith, Ruth" <RSmith@SCOE.STAN-CO.K12.CA.US>]

When I started as a librarian 34 years ago we had a tool we used in
processing and repairing called a steel eraser.  It was shaped kind of like
a tear drop on about a 4" long wooden handle.  It was mainly used to scrape
India ink lettering off of spines if you made a mistake or needed to
reletter.  The last one we had disappeared when we moved our facility last
year.  Does anyone know what I am talking about?  I would like to obtain 1-2
of them for use in some of my craft work.

If you know how I can get some of the eraser please let me know.  Right now
I am set at nomail so please respond directly to me.
