The Buffet Crayon is 514, while the Selmer is 510. They are close, but are somewhat different in color. Nate & others are correct in that the base material in Crayons is wax.
The (special) Crayons can only be purchased by repair shops & retail distributors. Ferree's sells in tyheir catalogue for $9.95. If anybody wants more info, please contact me offlist. mw
Nate, antique is good. BUT do you want 1980-1999 models to look like antiques? :-) However, my bent *is* to use it everywhere. DSFDF. When I see a 1940 Buffet fully restored to its "glory" with a Crayon, causing the Trademark to be prominently "noticeable" ... it sure looks nice to me. Many of these trademarks wouldn't even be noticed without the Crayon as they are faint. So, to me, the more we can bring back faint (worn) impressions, the better.
BTW: I, too, start out with a soft toothbush.
