{"product_id":"world-globe-pencil-sharpener-with-shavings-container","title":"World Globe Pencil Sharpener with Shavings Container","description":"\u003ch5\u003eDescription\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis little pencil sharpener takes the shape of a world globe, a bright tinplate sphere printed with the continents and oceans, sitting on a sturdy red base. The map is printed in the cheerful colours of a classroom atlas: blue seas criss-crossed with lines of latitude and longitude, Africa in red, Europe in green, Asia in pink and China picked out in yellow, with place names such as Sahara, Congo, Egypt and the Atlantic Ocean lettered across the surface. It stands 4.9cm tall and 4.3cm across, so it sits neatly in the palm of a hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe think it belongs on the desk. The red base keeps it standing steady beside a notebook or a pot of pencils, and it looks just as at home on a bookshelf, in a study, a home office or a classroom. Being so small, it also slips easily into a pencil case or a desk drawer, ready whenever a pencil loses its point. The bright map adds a welcome splash of colour to the working day, whether you are doing homework, sketching, writing lists or taking notes, and it makes a fun little talking point for anyone who stops by your desk.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe sharpener is made from ABS plastic and steel and has a single hole sized for standard pencils, while the globe is a tinplate container that holds the shavings. When it needs emptying, turn it upside down and pull the base and the container apart, tip the shavings into the bin, then fit the two back together. As general good practice, wipe the printed tin with a soft dry cloth and keep it away from water so the colours stay bright. Set it beside a fresh pad of paper and a few coloured pencils, or tuck it into a parcel of stationery for a small, cheerful present that earns its place every day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRex London\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSharpener: plastic (ABS) \u0026amp; #50 steel; shavings container: tinplate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLength\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4.3cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4.3cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4.9cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.013KG\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWarnings\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNot for children under 3 years of age.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow big is the globe pencil sharpener?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt stands 4.9cm tall and measures 4.3cm across.
