Does anyone remember pop-a-point pencils and jumbo rubbers? a pencil case just wasn't complete without them.!!

Re: Pop-a-point

Now those I do remember. A barrel/pencil with pre sharpened tips, when one was used you "popped" the next one up with the one you'd just used Loved the ones with different colours.

Re: Pop-a-point

I had one of those giant-sized biro type pens (clear plastic) with blue green & red ink..you rotated the whole pen above the nib to select your colour

Re: Pop-a-point

I had Pop A Point Pencils too! Some were coloured and others were a translucent blue with normal leads in them?

I wonder if you kept them in one of those fun fur pencil cases with an animals face on, glass wobbly eyes and a beak design?

Only two nights ago I used my popapoint pencil from the 1970's. I have several of them, they're all just pencils, no coloured ones and they even still have the white plastic lids/caps. I also have a rubber that is like a square chunky pencil with lego type blocks in different colours. The white rubber inside is whole but in theory as it's worn down you pull off the bottom block and put it on the top of the rubber.

Nice collection TLC, I've not seen the erasers/rubbers for years!

Re: Pop-a-point

Thanks for your comments and many thanks to sixtyten for kindly uploading the pic for me.
I had more of the pale blue ones (the very first ones I had) until my daughter spied me using one the other evening, she liked that colour best and has now 'scavenged' them as she calls it. Never to be seen again no doubt!! Another thing lost from the good old 70s!!!!

Re: Pop-a-point

Pop-a-point pencils are a wondeful memory. I can't recall the colour of the ones I had, but I do remember thinking they were really neat. And that picture of the eraser with the coloured blocks, Low Country. Thanks for that. One of those items I'd forgotten about for at least thirty years!
