Ace Pilot 404 chrome spring loaded Stapler 1980 USA

Classic design, still manufactured today….this original one is just build a little better. This is the Pilot model 404 made by the ACE Fastener Corporation from Chicago, USA, founded in 1952. This one is (guesstimating) from the 1980’s. It is all metal and sturdy with nuts and bolts and a strong retracting spring on top to hold the staples in place. It is marked on the top with the Pilot name, on the back with the 404 model number on the front with the ACE brand and on the bottom with 6 patent numbers. Comes with small signs of normal use and age only, it functioning perfectly and the 3 feet are in tact. It measures ca. 16 cm or 6 1/2 inches in length. Do check the video on vintage staplers!
