lol, now that is funny. i saw it the first time you posted it and got a good laugh out of it cause it looks like a pencil sharpener. so i thought it was a great joke by you. but i guess you were serious after all. lol
They are real I got these reproductions on ebay a while back. I got my original one at a trade show a few years back. It was made in Germany. Also Initials KUM in a oval. It says ARTEMIS. Does that mean anything to anyone? German for Trimmer?
