Antique 1906 Cast Iron Upright Rotate Pencil Sharpener Label

It is indeed a pencil sharpener. I am not quite certain of the exact year, but the date given is in the range for this type. (1908 to 1907).

Anyway, we have a winner.

OK. that means that the first person that posts a picture of a tool gets to head the next game.

If nobody else posts anything by this time tomorrow, I might have one. But if someone else wants to take it, by all means go ahead.

I'm going to hold off until morning. Still open to anyone at this point.

I expect mine to go fairly quickly, so someone else should be looking for one anyway.

I know this is probably way out in left field, but does it have anything to do with horses or farm animals?

Wow, now, I am not a girl, so I have no idea, but that would certainly be a creative use of that funny looking device. ;~}

Would you use it on (long) hair?
