Original Item: Only One Available. This is a beautiful green painted 24/6 desktop stapler by Bukama Knirps, a well known German manufacturer of staplers in the 1930s.
A stapler is a mechanical device that joins pages of paper or similar material by driving a thin metal staple through the sheets and folding the ends. Staplers are widely used in government, business, offices, work places, homes and schools. The word “stapler” can actually refer to a number of different devices of varying uses. In addition to joining paper sheets together, staplers can also be used in a surgical setting to join tissue together with surgical staples to close a surgical wound (much in the same way as sutures).
The stapler features a lovely and crisp Kriegsmarine Waffenanmt “M” directly to the left of the white paint identifying the size of staples: Jbis 24/6. The original green paint is retained very nicely throughout the stapler and base. There is no damage that we can tell.
Staplers were vital to military operations, especially during WW2. Without these crucial pieces of equipment, there would be loose papers everywhere and no organization. If the wind were to blow and you had a stack of loose documents, they would just fly in all directions, possibly into the hands of your enemy, exposing secrets! By stapling multiple documents together it ensures that they stay in proper order and would be heavier so you don’t run the risk of losing them to the wind.
