That was t...Oooh, the Ace Fastening Co, of Chicago! That was the company that made the other, older stapler I remember we had! And my brother used to have an Aceliner (or something very similar). I remember I found it funny when you opened it for reloading. You pulled the stapler back, then pulled down the staple holder, exposing the hammer. Pulled out the tape spring, and loaded 3/4 of a standard package of staples (it wasn't long enough to hold all the staples at once). Then secured the spring in place, and pressed everything back to the normal position. <br /><br />What I liked most about this model was that you could actually turn it into a tacker without having to remove the stapler from the base. Very convenient when you're in that certain age when you find stapled posters and photos on your walls highly fashionable. <br /><br />"Splayed stapling"... that was the term I was looking for. See? One can learn something everyday in the Typosphere!

The Bump Paper Fastener is fascinating (fastener-fascinating, I like the sound of that), didn't even know you can fasten paper that way. How interesting that your student used a fastener, it sure beats the paper clips a number of my students used for their papers this semester!Ton S. https://www.blogger.com/profile/10691201724230891974noreply@blogger.com
