Question

The image below shows a product designed by Raymond Loewy. Identify the product. 

• A. Pencil sharpener
• B. Turbine engine
• C. Children’s toy
• D. Automobile decal

Hint:

For design–history IDs, look for scale cues (desktop vs. industrial) and interaction parts (cranks, slots) to infer function.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

The object’s compact desktop scale, hand–crank handle at the “tail”, and front conical intake identify it as Loewy’s streamlined pencil sharpener, a classic 1930s–40s industrial–design form factor.
Aerodynamic surfacing is a Loewy signature applied to small consumer products, not to working turbine engines or decals.
