I also happen to adore the now defunct Autopoint. Turns out there's a guy even more devoted than us - Jonathan Veley. When the factory in Ohio closed he bought all the remaining stock and now sells a modern version (modern plastics/design but the same otherwise) under the name Legendary Pencil Co. Highly recommend his shop, and he has both a blog and a book called Leadheads . Start here https://www.legendaryleadcompany.com/

Thanks again for sharing this information with me. I thought I'd give back.

If you are looking for replacement erasers for your autopoint pencil (the slim one), these fit perfectly and come in various colors: https://www.build-a-pencil.com/collections/all

NO WAY!!!!

I had heard rumors somewhere that someone bought the rights and the machines but that’s about it!

I’m surely going to buy a few!

Thank you so much!
