Play Me understood the assignment: take a die-cast globe, render it with intricate detailing, and make it useful enough to justify a permanent spot on a desk rather than just a shelf. It has the particular charm of vintage novelty objects that took their subject seriously — the globe form is recognizable and satisfying, the die-cast construction gives it real weight, and the Play Me name carries the nostalgia of an era when desk accessories were allowed to have personality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e+ WHY WE CHOSE IT\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause a die-cast world globe pencil sharpener with genuine weight and detail is a more interesting desk object than most things that end up on desks. Because Play Me is a name that novelty collectors recognize. Because some desk accessories are allowed to have personality, and this one does.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e+ ABOUT THIS PIECE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne available.
