This “Chicago” pencil sharpener was made by the Automatic Pencil Sharpener Co. (“ASPCO”) Division of the Spengler-Loomis Mfg. Co in Chicago, Illinois, Patents from 1916 to 1921 are shown on the shaving canister. The "Chicago" design in particular was most popular in the 1910's and 1920's. While all the sharpeners were manual crank-style, they were marketed as “automatic” because the blades would stop cutting automatically when the pencil reached a perfect point.
