This Hotchkiss No. 57 is one of the many briefcase plier stapler models in my collection. The packaging of this stapler, however, displays a variation I had not yet seen. The "True Blue Clipper" perhaps speaks to Norwalk's proximity to the Atlantic and may have been so-themed to appeal to the nautical businessman or stapler deprived sailor. In any case, it provides another example of variation in decoration as a marketing tool.
