Vintage NYC DOE c. 1960 pencil with carefully replaced fresh eraser sharpened with a plane to a razor point. 

It's imbued with the spirit of long gone math classes and basically solves problems by itself*.

*not true really... maybe... unless.

 @ef37507f @134318c2 My #BraggingPencil would be a 4H sharpened to a perfect point. If I saw someone else using that pencil, I would be impressed!
