This is a classic metal pencil sharpener, and from the engraving, it’s made by Johann Faber — a historic German brand known for high-quality pencils and stationery tools.

Here are a few cool facts:

Material: Likely solid brass or die-cast metal, giving it durability and a nice weight in hand.

Design: The curved edges and single-hole layout are iconic for traditional pencil sharpeners, often favored by artists and draftsmen for the control they offer.

Blade: Replaceable steel blade, secured with a flat-head screw.

Johann Faber: The company was founded in the 19th century and eventually became part of Faber-Castell, one of the oldest industrial companies still family-owned.
