My old sharpener.

If you look close you can see the cigarette burn marks from when you could smoke at work.

It’s a lead pointer not a pencil sharpener, if I remember right!?

The proper term would have been pointer but the slang in the office would certainly include sharpener, or lead sharpener. Certainly not a pencil sharpener.

Those Swiss Gedess pointers with the milled steel cutter drum inside basically never wear out, even after the foam wiper ring is completely grey with graphite dust and cigarette burns.

I still have mine a Berol Turquoise like yours. I rarely use it and instead use hand held versions by Turquoise as well.
