Okay, I even waited until evening.





What is it? (I think one or two of you might recognize it right off.)

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.



Thanks for the win. I do not want to post the next tool.
Just like guessing :)

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.

To gouge out the center where the lead/graphite goes?

No.

[edit]

Look closely at your pencils. They are formed from 2 pieces of wood glued together around the graphite rod.

Presumably you wind the handle and the metal block travels along the bottom guide rod?

I have never actually seen it in use.
