Jupiter
ENGLISH VERSION!

Do you have
a pencil sharpening machine „Jupiter“? You would like to have more
information about it? I have something you might need. I compiled a brochure about this very interesting machine. I put all my knowledge, which I got to know through my homepage www.Spitzmascine.de, into this booklet. You will get information about the different models, the years of production and the differences between the models 1, 2, 2/51 and 2/51 B |

it:
>The
pencil-sharpening machine “Jupiter” is one of the most famous mechanical
pencil sharpeners of its time. Even today, a hundred years after its patent
application, it is not on the scrap heap. Quite the reverse: more and more
people like to have this impressive piece of early German engineering skills on
their writing desks. It
goes back to a time when the industrial production started. It was the time when
the label “Made in Germany” was a synonym for high-quality work. Not only
because of this, was the machine exported to the whole world. - If you think
about it properly how many ´Jupiters` are still existing today, more than 50,
80 or even 100 years after their production and after two world wars, then it
does quiet impress. The mechanical pencil sharpeners, which are sold these days,
are – with some exceptions (El Casco!) -
only made of plastic and stop working after the tenth pencil. In 50
years, nobody will know about them. Nevertheless, the ´Jupiters` will still
exist! Probably the advertising slogan “the pencil sharpening machine that
survives its owner” was right in most of the cases! Quiet
interesting is the fact that the Jupiter had its triumphal march all over the
world although there have been many similar machines of competitors. The
time has come to dedicate this machine an abstract. I was able to collect many
copies and information, which I would like to impart to you with the help of
this brochure. In 1987, I started to collect pencil sharpeners. I was able to collect more than 4400 pencil sharpeners, including about 200 pencil-sharpening machines. I own four different ´Jupiter` and I `ve got two similar working models: two SB, one ´Vindobona` and one ´Kastro`.<
