Description |
Bump Paper Fastener, wide-handled variety. Looks similar to a single handheld hole punch with two handles that are squeezed together after two or more pieces of paper are placed between the jaws. The fastener has the text "PAPER FASTENER CO. PAT. BUMP U.S.A. LA CROSSE, WIS." engraved in a circle on both sides of the body. The fastener cuts a small triangular-shaped hole in the paper, folds back the cut triangle and then folds it back and underneath a slit cut in the paper. |
