Neva-Clog
First you have to love the name. I takes confidence to call your device the Neva-Clog but of course being that it was made in 1936 there was no fear of being slammed in a blog or on Epinions. But here it is 2009, this deco darling is now 73 years old and is still hanging in there. It’s particular on what staples you feed it. It has smaller than standard staple which means that it might not ever clog since it will run out of staples before I could ever lodge a complaint. And since the company is no longer in business it is moot point.
Creating art of the Neva-Clog is like reinventing the staple however I started on my 3D rendering before I actually owned this machine. A few details I was not aware of was its head came to a point (I’ll call it the button but I don’t know the real terminology), it appears to have nickelplating rather than chrome and what I thought were photography distortions in the angle of the base were not distortions, the base is actually slightly askew. I followed up with few tweeks to my art after buying the Neva-Clog.
I am somewhere in midst of series of anatomy of the stapler. More to come.
