Sanding cone for sharpener

[Skullza]

My mom, trained as an artist, was a draftswoman for Bell Telephone during WW2. When a friend at work learned I'd inherited her drafting tools, he gave me this K&E pointer. Does anyone know a source for the sharpening "cones" or sandpaper to fit this? Thanks!

I have never seen the cones for sale back in the days when we used them for sharpening drafting pencils with. I see these for sale on eBay from time to time. Might be able to find one close enough to use as a donor for parts for your moms. If you want it for sharpening leads with, go the Hobby Lobby and buy one of the compact one like I did for about $10 bucks.

I have never looked inside my Lietz pointer ca. 1964, don't know what is in there...
