Antique American Copper Miniature Pencil Sharpener & Paperweight (Grandfather Clock Design)

Antique Aunt: "Antique American Copper Miniature Pencil Sharpener & Paperweight (Grandfather Clock Design)" 📒 Description: In the early days in America and Europe, many such miniature copper pencil sharpeners were also used as paperweights, and they came in various designs. For example, typewriters, cash registers, old telephones, and old oil lamps... All of these were made into exquisite miniature pencil sharpeners and paperweights in Europe and America back then. I truly admire the ingenuity of our ancestors in Europe and America who designed stationery so thoughtfully. Imagine a desk adorned with an array of miniature pencil sharpener paperweights in different shapes. Not only could they be used to sharpen pencils on the spot, but they also served to hold down letters and documents, and they added a beautiful touch to the desk landscape~ And the bell on this miniature Grandfather Clock really chimes! 🔔 Stationery enthusiasts, don't miss out~ ⚠️ As you can see from the photos, these antique stationery items are very old and have developed a beautiful patina, possessing the charm of age. Therefore, the blades are no longer exceptionally sharp. The shopkeeper tested it: If a pencil has already been sharpened with a modern, larger sharpener, it will be difficult to sharpen it further with this antique one. If you use a completely unsharpened pencil, you can achieve the effect shown in the photos. However, it's difficult to achieve the same sharpness as modern sharpeners! Besides functioning as a pencil sharpener, it also makes for a charming paperweight. 📒 Dimensions: Length 6cm x Width 4.5cm x Height 7cm Please read the notes carefully before purchasing. 1.
