If it had been Exner's or Engel's personal stapler, it certainly would be something to add to the collection.

Pic, for when this thread comes back from the dead... in five years...

 

Should say:”Stolen from Chrysler Corporation” on it!!

 

Nice patina....orig TX9.

 

Less than $15.00!

 

As a paper pushing fed, and Navy Supply Officer before that, I have learned that little tops the L.I.C. made, metal Swinglines in terms of durability and ease of use. Newer/modern staplers P-A-L-E in comparison. They had a lot of models over the years, but in terms of "mid-century-modern design," this is my favorite..… the Swingline 333, introduced in 1962. Looks unique, yet uses standard, widely available staples.

I had one "bequeathed" to me from a retiring co-worker about 20 years ago, and have since picked up a couple more, there was even a woodgrain model...… I consider it the stapler equivalent of the Turbine car, or slab-sided C-body design......…(mine sits on the desk near my Turbine Car model.....).

 

Presumably stolen by whoever has the initials "FS"?

Its mine.

 

When it comes to stapler design you guys, I think these are pretty hard to beat! The person I bought one of these from said to me " whatever happened to style, where did it go?" I think we can apply that to most everything these days.
