#30: Past Paper Cutter
The idea of a paper cutter might seem pretty foreign to most kids today, but it’s definitely something that we remember using when we were younger! A wooden paper cutter like this one is from before the days of plastic guillotines in classrooms. You had to be very careful using these, or you could kiss your pinky goodbye.
…because they could easily slice one of your fingers off! Whoever got to use them in the classroom was the superior one, as it felt like a real reward being able to cut paper with them. It’s honestly quite strange how, as kids, we used to get excited over such mundane things like this!
