Antique Paper Fastener Tin & 29 Fasteners #2B, O.K. MFG.CO.1903 Syracuse, NY
This brass tin is 1 3/4" across and 1 1/4" tall. It originally held 100 No. 2.B. brass Paper Fasteners. There are still 29 of these brass fasteners in it. On the top cover has molded into it: "100 No 2. B. Washburnes Patent Paper Fasteners, O.K. Trade Mark, Pat'd June 23 1903 in USA and Foreign Countries." On the bottom is "Made by the O.K. MFG. Co in Syracuse, NY, USA. &nb...sp;
The 29 brass fasteners are 3/8" long. The paper goes between the two halves. One half has a hole and the other has a sharp prong. When pushed together the prong goes through the papers and into the hole, holding the papers together.
This is from an antique O.K. Mfg Co ad: "Brighten Up Your Stationery..... by using Washburnes Patent Paper Fasteners. Easily put on or taken off with the thumb & finger. Can be used repeatedly and "They always work." Made of brass in 3 sizes. Put up in brass boxes of 100 fasteners each."
The tin and the fasteners are in excellent condition. The fasteners are still shiny. The tin has no rust, just patina and 3 small black spots on the bottom. It has a tight fitting lid.
