Paid: I think $1.oo
Staplers, staplers!! I love them, especially the old metal ones. This was sitting in a wet carton, calling my name to be rescued, photographed, and posted here for you to enjoy. Big Brother to The 'Cub'

You find very cool stuff (and have a nice touch with a camera, too!) Like you, I love rescuing this stuff, marveling at past technology, and being impressed with the quality of items from bygone days. I also value old staplers, and today picked up a nice Swingline 113 "Strong Arm" for $4 at a thrift shop. My buddy and I celebrate this stuff at our own blog: http://progress-is-fine.blogspot.ca/
ReplyDeleteI'll certainly be visiting yours again. Thanks for this!
Hay, thanks Duke! I have a 'pending' pile of bits and bobs (and more staplers!), until I get my camera repaired (Dead since Christmas 2012!!) In the meantime, I will have to keep track of your page! Nice- a Model 113 for $4! I have one up in this blog as well, in a gaudy cream color... I recently got a beautiful-condition Model 27 in copper color, another 27 in beat-up grey, and a couple of chromed Pilot staplers as well... All from estate sales like $2 each. Now I have a hankering for old flashlights also!! Thanks again, MxM
