For ages I've wondered what useful work I could put a small steam engine to. Now I know... a pencil sharpener!

With a name like Boston, (Possibly US or UK made? ) and non integer metric dimensions, is it possible that you are actually looking for a cutter that is 19/32" (or even 5/8" ) diameter by 1.5 inches long?

Boston is the Brand name.

They were made in England, well Wales actually by REXEL at Llantrisant, just round the corner from the Royal mint.

Been there they to became part of the ACCO group , just like the pencil company did.
