EMB MARTI HISTORY:
The original diecast pencil sharpeners were produced in Spain (Valencia) (1970\'s) They were called PLAY-ME. These sharpeners are very detailed and have many moving parts. In the early 1980\'s the company closed. The cheaper imitations from Hong Kong took over.
Also from Spain came the well sought after EMB MARTI pencil sharpener. These sharpeners are generally heavier and a little bigger than the PLAY-ME ones. The EMB sharpners are the MOST detailed of all the ones we know. The EMB company was in existence for a lot shorter period than the PLAY-ME CO. The EMB logo can easily be identified on these sharpeners. EMB has made at least 25 different miniatures sharpeners. They are all marked with a reference number and \"Made in Spain\" . These highly sought collectibles.
Most of the pencil sharpeners that are still being made today are the DIECAST ones. Other pencil sharpener names are ZINC ALLOY and OLD FASHIONED.
