AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Boston pencil sharpener from the period 1950-1960 made of metal with chrome finish.
With a turning motion you can remove and empty the catcher. It is also possible to screw the sharpener to the table or desk. By pushing the pencil into the desired opening and turning the handle, the pencil is sharpened. In later versions the pencil could be placed under tension so no pushing was needed. I suspect that this is therefore an early version.
The condition is good. All mechanisms work as they should and the blades are still sharp. Visibly there are some corrosion marks due to the passage of time. See the photos.
Dimensions: height 10 cm. length including handle 12 cm. width 6.3 cm. Weight approx. 380 grams
