Yes! I remember them. But I remember seeing them in the late 70's,early 80's. The original ones were painted, and made of a hard rubber. I think they could be used as erasers as well as decorations. They remade them in the mid 80's, and were much cheaper looking,and made of plastic.They were no longer erasers,just ornaments. Have you tried looking on E-bay? By the way,here is a photo I found, but the new ones for this century are not as well crafted as the ones we grew up with.Looks like they are made from different molds. http://www.wyb.com/bt-0025fruit_pencil_tops.jpg  :) Thanks for the memories!
