Nairne invented the rubber eraser after the discovery of rubber in 1770. He sold them in England, at a high price. Each half inch cube was three shillings. This is how the eraser, or rubber, got its name, that it rubs out pencil marks. It is interesting to note that Edward Nairne and Edward Naime are the same people. His last name has not been determined, since he lived so long ago, the written name cannot be determined as an "M" or "RN."
