Someone understood this well enough to miniaturize it in die-cast metal, finish it in bronze, name it the Golden Eagle, and put a pencil sharpener inside. The result is exactly what it sounds like: a vintage novelty that takes its subject seriously. The bronze finish gives it warmth and weight, the slot machine form gives it instant recognition, and the functional sharpener inside gives it a reason to live on a desk rather than just a shelf.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e+ WHY WE CHOSE IT\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause a die-cast bronze slot machine pencil sharpener named the Golden Eagle is a specific and wonderful thing to find. Because casino memorabilia in miniature is a genuine collecting category. Because the particular American genius of making useful things look like other things entirely deserves to be appreciated.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e+ ABOUT THIS PIECE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne available.
