Small pencil sharpeners, approx. 44mm. The two gold ones are marked 'Germany', the green one with Mintex Halo BBA pressed into the top is marked 'Foreign' but they are almost certainly from the same source. The one on the left has several differences, doors and radiator being the most obvious, so the casting was reworked or replaced at some point.
A great way of sharpening those pins & needles! For a wee tutorial, click here: listentothebirdssing.blogspot.com/p/tutorials.html
Back in April I bought some pencil sharpeners that looked like 1/6th objects (www.flickr.com/photos/kd_230692/13816422624/) and I finally returned to that store today (it’s near my bf’s but I rarely go out there so yea). Most of the pencil sharpeners were sold and the rest were missing their boxes so I bought the only other 1/6th ish item (the other two were a train and a weird bell) which was this 1940s looking fan. The blades can turn with the knob on the back so that’s fun.

One needs a sharp point on a pencil – but I usually use a knife to sharpen mine.

Metal pencil sharpeners have a steel blade but the body is made of magnesium. Magnesium is a chemical element with the symbol Mg and atomic number 12. The shiny white metal oxidises on exposure to the air, as can be seen here. I set one alight once – they burn very well

BACKSTORY: COMMENTS/ANECDOTES: This was a great day for yardsaling! Multiple community yardsales, the Boy Scout flea market, a church rummage sale, this day had it all. We got a lot of stuff. 3 car-loads! A Russian Cyrillic typewriter. We actually made it through the entire route, surprisingly. We had talked about maybe skipping a section in the middle, but then we went ahead and continued on. Then later, we were like, "Damn, we should have skipped that stuff in the middle, but then we wouldn't have gotten the stripper pole." Trade-offs! Our two goals were met though: we were specifically looking for floor lamps and power strips. By the way, Trump voters price stuff ridiculously.
SUMMARY: Got up around 7:05AM, made it out driving from McDonald's by 7:48 and went out until 2:39PM for a total of 6 hours. Spent $164.24 plus ~$5.03 gas for 58.1 miles of driving (28.7 mpg @ $2.49/G), for a total cost of $169.27. We drove to 48 yard sales, stopping at 18 (38%) of them. We made 65 purchases (115 items not including the power blocks) for a total estimated value of $1,207.61, leading to a profit/savings of $1,038.34. So in essence, we multiplied our $169.27 investment by 6.13X. (Also, if you think about it, the profit counts for even more when you consider that we have to earn $1,183 on the job, pre-tax, in order to take home the $1,038.34 in cash that we saved. How long does $1,038 of disposable income take to earn, vs the 6 hrs we spent here?) Anyway, this works out to a *post-tax* "wage" of $173.06/hr as a couple or $86.53/hr per person.

Bought off the guy's back because it was his that he was using for his spot at the flea market, but he didn't have it up and had it in with his stuff as if it was for sale. When we asked how much, he said he'd sell it to us for $20.

Old typewriters like this are obsolete now, but they have charm the newer ones, and computers, don't. This one, however, is a pencil sharpener. Manual pencil sharpeners aren't obsolete yet, but they might become obsolete soon.
This is a little pencil sharpener shaped like a carousel. When you put the pencil in to sharpen, it makes the horses turn!! So cute! The LTS thing on top is not part of the carousel, it's a ring. I just wanted a closer picture of the two tiniest things.

My new sharpener, the Chef's Choice Trizor 15XV.
Here's a before and after comparison of my J. A. Henckels Chef knife edge using my new sharpener. For some reason, after I took the before shot, I could never get the lighting the same. I think these two shots at least show the improvement made at the blade edge after the sharpening.
The new sharpener uses diamond embedded wheels to sharpen and so far, I'm very impressed by the results.
