A thin pencil - Bridge, Stenographer, Notebook

I am looking for a thin pencil...its diameter is smaller than regular pencils.  It still has an eraser and you sharpen it, but it's a bit thinner in diameter. My teacher over 15 years ago had a bunch of them and I have not been able to find them since. They were multi colored, though that doesn't matter to me at all. I just want to find a thinner pencil. Help me please!

----- Mr. Pencil: You are referring to what are called “bridge pencils”, after the card game. People sometimes call them “notebook pencils” and, when they are sharpened at both ends, stenographer pencils. They are considerably thinner than the usual pencil, have erasers, and the barrels come in several different color lacquers. The leads are #2 HB (medium soft). They sharpen with a normal hand-held sharpener. We stock them at PencilThings.com.

----- Mr. Pencil: Update. We found that our supply of bridge and other small diameter pencils is vdery low -- too low to make available online. So, we ordered an adequate supply and will have them available online by late November.

Mr. Pencil stated that pencilthings.com ordered an adequate supply of bridge and other small diameter pencils and will have them available online by late November, 2007. Did pencilthings.com sell them all or never put them online? I'm interested in buying them.
