Old Unusual Metal Military Tank Pencil Sharpener w/ Spoke Wheels - Japan

Description

Approx. 2 5/8" long x 1 5/8" tall x 7/8" wide. Well marked 'Japan' with great detail including the tanks' rivets. It has copper colored metal spoke wheels and axles which are bent a bit. The fenders that come down to hold the axles are also slightly bent but can be VERY carefully bent back - but no guarantees because the metal is delicate. The top of the vehicle was made with a couple of casting flaws - just a couple of tiny divots in the metal on the dome. There is a pencil sharpener in the front but I have seen this model as a whistle that fit into the rear, which would explain the open area. Sometimes the same castings were transformed into other toys. This is a cool piece, easily over 75 years old. Paint is light blue/silver. Good luck!
