✅ SOLVED Old pencil sharpener???

[thrillathahunt]

Hello all!

This rather heavy metal object was found at a turn of the twentieth century site. I thought at first it was a shotgun shell end, but after cleaning noticed it had the hands of a clock showing 11:22 and a hole on the side that fits a pencil perfectly. and what looks to be blades inside ..... You think it's an old pencil sharpener?

I'd say it's a pencil sharpener. Neat find!

Looks that you nailed it villagenut! I wonder why the one I found shows 11:22 and the one you posted shows 11:20? Thank you all for your replies.
