Novelty pencil sharpeners,
made in Hong Kong 1970s
I LOVE retro stationery [because I used it as a youngster, you understand. This explains everything.]
So – here we have a world globe pencil sharpener [which rotates on it’s axis] but it’s kinda inaccurate when you look at- you know- the world…but what do you want from a 70s pencil sharpener? Geographic accuracy? It’s a pencil sharpener!
Next up a pair of swan sharpeners. The pencil goes in where the sun don’t shine. Enough said.
And my favourite- a perpetual calendar- with three moveable wheels for the day, date and month. I’ve set it for my actual birth date- as you do.
The globe comes in it’s original box [no 7204] and the date indicator also [MW, no 153]- whereas the swans do not.
And in the background – a Globite square school case, which is rusted and old and creaky and half broken. I love it. I have been instructed to lose it- but – it’s square, and rusted and half broken. I can’t.
The swan sharpeners and the perpetual calendar sharpener are for sale: $AUD20 each
