Does any one know..

If in the CW the soldiers (Union in this case) used any type of Wooden style Pencil . I know they had mechanical types .

The other day I found a wooden type pencil in a CW camp area that looks real old with the bottom piece that would hold the eraser made of pretty sturdy Brass with a neat design as well.

Just Curios ,

Thanks for any help.

Sorry I just saw your reply.
Actually , I basically found what was left of a wooden pencil.
The entire relic is around 1&1/4 in in length with the brass part being around est, 1/2 inch with around the same or less wood left with a piece of round lead (Pencil "Of Course") sticking out the end.

Hopefully someday I can Quickly Download Pictures , as it's a pain now Having to have my wife or my step-Dad Do it for Me.
Thanks for the reply
Good luck Davers
