McGill Fasteners & Punches

I've been collecting for a very long time and have been fortunate to find many cool items over the years. Amongst my favorites are the various McGill single staple machines and various punches. I've put together a selection from my collection of some of these beauties. Some folks will refinish/repaint or "restore" these machines but I feel that takes away from their authenticity (and most certainly does their value as with any antique). These were tools meant to be used and they should show that use IMHO. McGill was a pioneer in staplers and stapling and his machines are simply amazing.
