Rocket fins! Another spaceage pointer is the freaky APSCO Tri-Pointer.

The mechanism if not the form of the precision point has proven to be very long-lived. The common lead pointers still available which fit onto the shaft of electric erasers use a nearly identical cutting mechanism. (I’ll picture one of these soon.) (Update 2006.12.29: Well here we are three years later and we’re still waiting...)

This later Precision Point model was shorter and had a cone shaped stand to store the pointer with the dust cap down. It's cool and a major improvement over the earlier style.
