This little camera is in fact a pencil sharpener
Sticking a pencil into the top lens of this tiny TLR camera feels like you're sticking a pointy stick in somebody's eye, but that's ok, as that's not really a lens. In fact, this isn't really a camera — it's a pencil sharpener.
The design is delightfully camera-like. You pull the top section out and slot the pencil in. To adjust sharpness (pun in original) you move a small lever, and to actually do the wood-shaving you turn the film-winding handle on the side.
Back when I was a young schoolboy and still knew how to use pens, pencils and paper, I would have loved this sharpener, made by Chinese stationery company Deli. I would also have liked its $15 price, which is small enough to make this an impulse buy.
