Novus B 22 steel two tone grey and chrome finish
Novus B 22 box printed cardboard
There seems to be a pattern in my stapler collecting. A lot of my favorite staplers designs come from German designers or manufacturers and Novus has been making staplers there since 1949. Along with Novus, Leitz and the previously featured Elastic are some other German stapler manufacturers of note. The Novus B22 is a straight-forward design, staples load in front by operating catch in rear, conversion to tacking means merely opening up the stapler and switching from staple to pin requires only to move the anvil in the desired direction. Nothing too fancy here, but the muted greys are soothing and very pleasing to the eye.

Excellent site, I had no idea there was anyone else with a tendency to collect staplers. This Novus B22 is an excellent stapler, I still have one on my desk at work.
ReplyDeleteI inherited mine sometime in the late 1970's and still use it regularly. The force with which the staple loading tray opens reminds me of the alien in the movie of the same name!
ReplyDeleteSo it is a fun toy as well.
Any idea what year this was built?
There are some numbers stamped onto it, but nothing that looks like a date.
Thanks for the unique site!
