Desk drawer item (6)
I believe the answer is:
eraser
'desk drawer item' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for eraser that I've seen before include "What a poor artist needs" , "Stationery item" , "A schoolboy's rubber" , "Correcting implement used in drawing or writing" , "correction device" .)
