Pencil Sharpeners

I remember these.

.

One other thing. The bottom sharpener costs twice as much as the top one even though the top one has the size selector on it. However, it looks like the bottom one has clear plastic bits so you can see what’s goin’ on inside or if it needs emptying without taking off the cover. Maybe the plastic bits is why it’s so pricey.

.

Good thing I never entered the pencil sharpener business, I guess. These days I use a wikid shahp X-acto knife to tune up my pencils.
