Hoge Stapler

I started collecting staplers in 1987 and I pretty much thought that I have seen everything. My collection is pretty much complete, or is it? Here is an unremarkable stapler that appeared online.

Nothing special about it. At first, I thought it may be another clone or patent sold off by a large office appliance company, but tuns out I was wrong.

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, friends, and family, I present the Hoge "Blue Knob" No. 3 circa 1932.

You know, the search is never over until it is over.
