Details

Riveted hole punch of metal; Without brand or year - ca.1935-1940. Possibly German make. ¶ It is unknown who invented the hole punch as we still know it, nor when the distance (8 cm) between the holes was standardized. There is a patent from 1885, filed by one Benjamin Smith, for a single hole punch with a kind of pincer action.
