Made by Metal Specialties Manufacturing Company of Chicago, which applied the Presto name to a variety of products from its founding in 1902. This small, simple stapler with delightful Streamline Moderne lines was introduced in 1940 and appears to have been aimed at students, though examples of the Presto as advertising giveaways have been seen. A variation is the Presto DeLuxe, which has a squared top nameplate and enameled base.
