Vintage Camera Pencil Sharpener

Camera

Not a real camera (sadly), but this Vintage Camera Pencil Sharpener is certainly a head-turner, not to mention a useful thing too.

If you hadn't guessed, this is based on a twin-lens reflex camera, but is actually something for the office, keeping your pencil sharp to your personal choice (via an 'adjustable sharpness knob'), with a pull-out tray for shavings.

Available online, it sells for $12.95.

Sized around 23.8cm across, you can pick one up online for just £10.

For sale: Grade II-listed three-bedroom Frank Lloyd Wright-style property in Solihull, West Midlands

Sol1

Hidden away in the Midlands is a grade II-listed midcentury property – this three-bedroom Frank Lloyd Wright-style property in Solihull, West Midlands.

It's a bizarre house, at least in terms of the interior and what we can see of the exterior. It was apparently built in the late 50s and has been listed due to its 'distinctive architectural style'. It's also only been up for sale once since being built. Until now that it.
