Zenith's Tricolore version of the company's classic 548/E stapler, fittingly, in the colors of the Italian flag. In 1948 Aldo Balma designed the Zenith 548 stapler as the epitome -- or zenith -- of function, form and great design. While the exterior of the 548 stapler has barely changed in 60 years, the company Aldo founded, Balma, Capoduri & C. S.p.A., has continuously perfected its design -- including a patented anti-jamming device -- to deliver superior, long-lasting performance. Physically and aesthetically, this is the perfect little tool for your desk. Highly-resistant enamel is applied to the metal body, fittings are nickel-plated brass, loading capacity is 100 staples. Included in the box are 1000 staples in size 6/4, 1/4" in width with a depth that can accommodate 15 regular text-weight sheets. Due to its durable construction, the 548/E is heavy in the hand yet thoughtfully ergonomic. To load staples simply unhook the plunger, place the staples on the metal channel, slide slightly into stapler, push in plunger and rehook. Approximately 2" width, excluding handle, 5.875" length
