Kum Pencil Sharpeners

Coco's sells beechwood, made in Germany Kum pencil sharpeners for $1 each.

I knew Kum had been around for about 100 years, but I did not know they made the most awesome pencil sharpener in the entire world.

Kum belly buster pencil sharpener too whimsical? Don't want to trust your Blackhawk to Tweedle Dee or Tweedle Dum? Perhaps you need a Jupiter 1. One can only imagine what the Jupiter 2 looked like.

The whole auction is just amazing. For example, a glass eye collection.

In addition to selling and renting Linus bicycles, Coco's is engaged in the refurbishment, repair and sale of used bicycles. From the scrap iron dealer's mud puddle, we buy bikes that nobody else wants. We buy junkers, clunkers, road bikes, mountain bikes, mixtes, European bicycles, stepthrough ten speeds, heavy bikes, skip tooth relics, racing bikes, 80's splatter paint disasters, suspension bikes, track bikes, cruisers, bruisers and midnight losers.

We believe the bicycle with the greatest positive impact on the environment is a fading champion that has already served a meaningful life and is resuscitated for a second chance at glory.

When buying a new bicycle, consider making a generational purchase. A quality bicycle that is a serviceable platform, that is precious such that you will want to protect it from harm and is attractive enough to warrant maintenance. Buy a bicycle that you have a soft spot for. If it doesn't make you smile, it is the wrong bike.
