Abstract

The Clipless Paper Fastener Company made these machines from 1915 to 1930 in Newton, Iowa. The Clipless Stand Machine has felt on the bottom and sides. There is a metal arm supporting a plunger that when pushed down cuts a V-shaped tongue in the papers and folds up the tongue to fasten the papers. It is an early version of the stapler without metal staples.
