Very special and therefore rare pencil sharpener.
Very decorative with the distinctive sharpening mechanism.
By pressing the lever on the left, the round grinding wheel rises up against the pencil.
This slips a bit (perhaps adjustment?), so is offered as not working.
Of course signs of use, small spots on the paint.
Suitable for its age and use.

Zeer bijzondere en daardoor zeldzame puntenslijper. Heel decoratief met het bijzondere slijp mechanisme. Door de hendel links in te drukken komt de ronde slijpschijf omhoog tegen het potlood aan. Deze slipt wat (wellicht afstelling ?) dus wordt als niet werkend aangeboden. Natuurlijk gebruikersporen, plekjes op verf. Passend bij leeftijd en gebruik.
