Donkey Kong "Rubbers" ??

Hi everyone,
has anyone ever seen one of these before? What is this?
It's a very small piece, maybe a rubber (have not tried to erase pencil with this!)

It has clearly graphics from G&W Donkey Kong Jr on it. Just says "Nintendo", but no year. I am a handheld collector, but I am not a Nintendo expert. Picked this up recently in a vintage store.
The holy grail of G&W collecting Wink

Any information appreciated.

cheers, mndn

Can't say I've seen that before, but it does look like a pencil eraser...

A quick Google search turns up several (also with transparent rubber), and it claims they are 'perfumed'... Does it smell? Not sure what the 'Donkey Kong Jr scent' would be, and if I'd want an eraser smelling like it... Mr. Green

It smells like Nitpicker eggs, of course! Hellooooo!?

Hi all,
sorry or the late replay and thank you for your infos on this. It's funny, but using Google I cannot find ANY picture of infos on this, even if I try "donkey kong transparent rubber" or "donkey kong perfumed gum". Anyway, a nice find for my G&W collection.
It does not really smell like anything. There is a light scent, but I guess the original small is gone. It is not an eraser (quite sure), it does not feel like one.

Search for
donkey kong jr eraser
you will see a bunch of them, including the clear ones.
Here's someone selling the same one you have, and there's others listed on that site:

This is great, thank you! Yes, I see those pics now. These "erasers" are great, now I want all of them!
Too bad, no cheap G&W on the lulu-berlin website...

Cheers,
