The pencil was a standard Owen-Harding No.2 Stylus only available in the Sandusky, Ohio area from 1978-82. Unfortunately they are extremely rare to come by these days, as the FDA found the lead to be extremely dangerous if inserted into the skin.
As for the elastic band, my source tells me that Lucasfilm has the exclusive moldings and only creates copies when films of the Indiana Jones series is in production and required by scenes(desk & office interior shots) so unfortunately we will only be able to acquire these items if Indy IV includes some office scenes.

P.S. I know that some links to which some fans go to are a little extreme, but if someone didn't look up this gobble-de-goop you and I might loose 10 minutes sleep some evening.
