Who needs a Rubber?

I mean erasers of course! I recently decided for no apparent reason to purchase somebody's 1980's collection of said erasers on Ebay. Actually there was only a few that interested me, nostalgically - and those were the Rose, The Joker and the Ariel packet . But when they arrived in the post I can't tell you and am also slightly embarrassed to admit that I had such fun going through them all - each one lovingly wrapped in tissue paper. My husband and I laughed like school kids as each appeared to comments like, "Ooh I wanted that one....ooh I think I had that....oh yeah everyone had that one.....hmm that one always smudged...ooohh smell it smell it!'I was amazed that I remembered so many - who knew!? Do you recognise any? Or was it me that just made alot of mistakes? (and still does)
