	The History of the Stapler
		The ornate handmade staples for this device (some accounts claim that the staples were made of gold, and encrusted with precious stones) were imprinted with the royal court's insignia.
		While most early eyelet machines were for leather fastening (think boot lace eyelets), there was a simple machine patented in 1859 that was designed (according to the patent description) to fasten "a number of folds of paper, cloth, leather, or other soft material".
		A single large staple was placed between the scary looking points on the base of the machine; the papers to be fastened were then placed on top of the points.
