Jerry, I had at least one and maybe two of those liquid lead pencils in grade school. You're right, it didn't erase. However as a lefty who drags his hand across what he has just written, the top of my fingers on my left hand did not end up as black as with a conventional pencil. I hated fountain pens. Had a junior high English teacher that required all formal writing be in ink and forbid the use of ball points. A fountain pen is meant to be pulled acrosas the page, not pushed.
