This classic 5" black Speedline Stapler still works great!

Here's some info about the Speedline/Swingline Fastener Company:

Swingline was founded in 1925 in New York City by Jack Linsky as the 'Parrot Speed Fastener Company,' and opened its first manufacturing facility in Long Island City in 1931. In 1939, the company changed its name to Speed Products, and in 1956, they became Swingline, which became a division of ACCO Brands (then a division of Fortune Brands) in 1987.
The factory name, Swingline, was a large iconic sign on top of the Queens building.

In the late 1990s, Swingline shut down production in Long Island City, New York and moved the entire production of premium staplers and staples to Mexico and shortly afterward, began production of economy plastic staplers in China. As of 2009, all of the all-metal 747 Classic staplers are now produced in China.

They just don't make em like this anymore.
