[78-L] Graphite?

[Rodger Holtin]

This is a new one on me, too, but I've led a sheltered life.
 
When might this magic dust have been marketed? Teens?  Twenties?  Thirties?  Surely not after semi-permanent needles, or was it?  
 
This is a UK seller, so I ask: was this stuff used/marketed in the USA, too?  I have cleaned a few records that seemed to have some awful black stuff on them, but always attributed it to smoke or soot.

Here's an item I'd not seen before:

Never tried that!
