No 19 is the US reference for a very stretchy elastic band and is the default item for rubber band effects - a bit like Bikes are the default brand of playing cards.
Russ Neidzwicky has a website which sells these as replacements for his 'Pinnacle' rubber band routine and are supposed to be very good indeed. I've been practicing with UK items which seem similar but they aren't as stretchy so perhaps aren't all that good. Check out the older Review postings under Pinnacle and you should find the details. Also check out his Profile for his website etc. and you'll be able to order them from him. Alternatively, if you know anyone in the US who can nip into their local Staples, they might be able to get them for you.
