Paul Johnson had kept his collection in a small shed he
called his museum, outside his home in Carbon Hill in southeast Ohio. A new
home for his more than 3,400 sharpeners was dedicated Friday inside a regional
welcome center. The Logan Daily News reports Johnson started collecting after
his wife gave him a few pencil sharpeners as a gift in the late 1980s.
He kept
them organized in categories, including cats, Christmas and Disneyland. The
oldest is 105 years old. An Ohio Senate proclamation calls the new display
"a fitting tribute" to Johnson, a World War II veteran.
