<p>[QUOTE="gregsglass, post: 110869, member: 78"]Hi,</p><p> I love stapled items. It shows the love that kept them and not thrown out. My great uncle was a professional stapler in France.

He worked for the Met when he was here. My favorite was a Homer Laughlin piece he stapled for my Gram. It was a common piece but it was my Gram's favorite coffee cup. He put 12 staples on the cup. I never knew who got the cup when Gram died or if it was tossed.</p><p>greg[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
