About the Item
1938 Art Deco Streamline Industrial Stapler – Ace Fastener Corp. Pilot Model No. 402
A true icon of streamline industrial design, this 1938 Ace Fastener Corp. Pilot Stapler No. 402 exemplifies the beauty of form meeting function during the height of the Art Deco and Machine Age era. With its sleek, aerodynamic silhouette and elegant, minimalistic curves, the stapler reflects the core design philosophy of the late 1930s: emphasizing efficiency, simplicity, and sculptural modernism.
Crafted with a durable metal body, this model features a smooth, rounded top and linear base — hallmarks of the Streamline Moderne movement, which took cues from aviation, automotive, and industrial innovation. The Pilot #402 was not just aesthetically ahead of its time, but also functionally innovative. The mechanism remains fully operational, activated by a clean downward push on the circular top button — a design that would become the foundation of the modern desktop stapler.
Condition: This stapler is functional and complete with all original parts. It shows honest patina and surface wear, especially in the more exposed areas, consistent with age and use — all of which add to its authentic vintage appeal.
Highly collectible, this stapler is not only a functional office tool but a design object worthy of display. It represents a time when even everyday items were conceived with architectural precision and artistic integrity.
A must-have for collectors of vintage office decor, Art Deco design, or industrial history, this piece offers a glimpse into the ingenuity and elegance of 1930s American design.
