I was taught to erase ink with a Pen knife, the small folding pocket 
knife carried by gentlemen.  It works much better on vellum than rag or 
wood based paper, but if you're careful it still works.  It was also 
useful for sharpening quills and pencils.

So in fact your wife's royal wedding commemorative rubber (which she
used for so many years) was performing the function that gave rise to
why rubber got called rubber in the first place.

I'll bet you didn't know that...

The "other" meaning of rubber which you allude to is much more recent.
It only came about in the 1930s.

Great photo Rick. It captures that particular kitsch that Brits come up

Kitsch indeed! It's still like that - a lot of bunting and flags are still
