A cool shot and dof

But it works, right? Unlike the electric ones which tend to break down a lot sooner. good shot!

Oh how I miss seeing these. What a terrific close-up of this one.
April 23rd, 2023  
Long time ago We(I) have use those. Great memory shot. ,
April 23rd, 2023  
Oh I think it has dawned on me! Is it one of those old school room pencil sharpeners?

Wonderful DOF and composition

Cool capture

Terrific vintage shot.

Goodness, I haven't seen one of those for many years
April 24th, 2023  
Love it

Ahh, pencil sharpener! Took me ages :)

First thing I would do when I went to Grandmas Farm in Bedford, Va. They had a very old one and it fascinated me for some reason...lol

Old sharpener but nice new pencils. Great contrast.

Great grungy photo. I agree with others. These work the best. Wish you could put one in your purse and take with you. Ah, well—you can sharpen up a bunch of pencils and take them along.

@30pics4jackiesdiamond It is, I think, but it's difficult to hold the sharpener down, hold the pencil and turn the handle. At this point, it's mostly a "decoration" since I tend to use mechanical pencils. Thanks Jackie. I used a "cheap" snap on macro lens.
@wakelys Yes indeed. One way to legally get out of one's seat.
@haskar Thank you Hannah.
@Dawn Thank you Dawn.
@olivetreeann Last time I used it I had some difficulty (holding the pencil, holder the sharpener and turning the handle) and ate up a pencil. It it was solidly attached to a surface, it probably does work well. Thanks Ann.
@grammyn Thank you Katy. Except the leads so fragile, I like mechanical pencils and have since I was a teen and my dad gave me one.
@pyrrhula I'm showing my age I guess. Thanks Ferry.
@marshwader Yes, that's what it is. My husband was a collector of junk (junque sounds fancier right?)
@corinnec Thank you Corinne
@amyk Thanks Amy.
@shutterbug49 Appreciate your feedback Debbie. It was what I was going for in the end (but not in the beginning).
@kjarn They are pretty old school (no pun intended, or may it was intended).
@casablanca Thanks
@pusspup Yes. I'm probably showing my age.
@brillomick Oh my goodness. It seems many may not have used these regularly in school. I guess it's official. I'm old.
@tunia Thanks Tunia. The pencils are newer than the sharpener but not that new. Just never used.
@mcsiegle Thank you Mary. I probably like those little ones best for this sort of pencil. I ate up quite a few points on pencils that didn't fit the sharpener just right. Mechanical pencils are may favorites. But probably hard to draw with. But then, I don't draw.

Lovely vintage piece..

I haven’t seen one of those in many a year - great capture
April 24th, 2023  
Ah, the nostalgia....and good DoF, so smart to include the pencils in the composition.
April 24th, 2023  
@beverley365 Thank you Beverly. Some of my husband's "junk".
@rensala Still hanging around this house, but not really used or useful for that matter. Thank you Renee.
@granagringa Thanks Madeleine.
