This fabulous little mouse pencil sharpener was made in Spain by Peribi. He has a flip top lid and wheels and may have once dispensed sellotape too! Sadly I couldnt find out anymore about him or the Peribi company. He looks to me like he dates from the late seventies. The hole to sharpen your pencil is strategically placed in the poor mouses rear end! Ouch!
While you cant buy these anymore, it looks like the guys at Sharp End have taken the idea a stage further.

The mouse was actually part of a set of five, which also included a snail, giraffe, pelican and rhino. See this picture:
