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. BOINC WIKI |

Antique 1906 Cast Iron Upright Rotate Pencil Sharpener Label 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? The mind is a weird and mysterious place
