El Casco Desk Stapler M5, gold-plated with felt

El Casco desk accessories are made for lifelong use. The elegant staplers are also made largely by hand. Each part is precisely matched and hand-adjusted. Each desktop stapler then receives a sequential serial number that marks the device as a true one-off. The M5 is finished with 23-karat gold.

More than just a desk accessory—the M5 stapler with a special history
The M5 desktop stapler has special significance for the Spanish company El Casco. It is the first office accessory that the now established manufacturer of desk utensils designed. As early as the 1920s the company was specialized in the manufacture of revolvers, but the Great Depression forced El Casco to rethink.

The influences of revolver manufacturing can indeed still be found in the M5 desk stapler today. For example, the M5’s staple channel was inspired by the manufacture of the revolver barrel.
