The sleekest of the sleekest staplers ever created, the Swingline 333. Designed in the early 1960's it's ready for your midcentury modern desk! Balanced and weighted that can't matched in today's modern plastic staplers. All black is pretty rare and they mostly came in the brown 'wood" look.
The stapler is great shape considering it's age and vintage. It's staples and functions as it should. The top portion doesn't crisply lock, but it does not effect the staplers performance. I'm a stapler enthusiast and this is the only 333 ever come across, so I looked over the crisp locking issue.
Here's a little history:
Patent No. US 192.544, applied for in 1961, granted April 3, 1962 to designers Robert H. Crowle of Mount Prospect, William G. Crowle of Deerfield and Charles E. Jones of Evanston, Illinois.
Please remember the 333 is a vintage item and sold as is. I try to be fashion as complete as possible in listings, but please ask me any question you might have. Thanks for checking out the 333.
