Eagle Staple Press

Imagine yourself travelling back in time to the 1870s and the great stationary staple war, between Mr George W. McGill and his Single-Stroke Staple Press and everyone else who could get a copy in before his patent was filed. Mr McGill was especially annoyed at the Philadelphia Novelty Company who did not really care about infringing on his stapler patent and in fact stated he was infringing on theirs! This whole ‘who has the better stapler!’ war truly escalated in the UK, this little stapler being the UK edition of Mr McGill’s amazing creation, with slander being thrown about in the papers by both companies.Adopting this little piece of hand decorated cast iron will not only be the perfect gift for any stationary lover you know but also for anyone who enjoys slander in the papers and late 18th century shenanigans.
