A vintage ceramic pinup — pencil holder?! While I struggle with the idea of such a pencil holder, what else could it be?

The seller, luxebetty,shares the following details:
Made in Japan 5 1/2″ tall by 5″ wide and 2″ deep. …holds 6-10 pens, markers or pencils.
So you know luxebetty’s stuck stuff in this pinup’s butt.

While I have no idea to see figurine rape, I kinda want to see the pencils sticking out… Just to see if that’s really the intended purpose.
I struggle with stuff like this; I really do.
I had this forwarded to me
So funny,really i had not looked at it in such a light but now looking back it gives me a good laugh.
When i found her she was in an old timers office being used as such even scissors
Thanks for your wonderful humor

More likely for spills, for lighting candles or cigars, etc….. just a thought..
