    Still have the one I used a million years ago in a box somewhere along with the horse tail hair brush used to sweep eraser dust away. Oh for simpler times :)

    technically it's a lead pointer/sharpener rather than a pencil sharpener. The lead is in a lead holder and this mechanism only sharpens the lead; this would not work on a standard #2 lead pencil... the one I used more than 40 years ago has a replaceable sandpaper disk.
