Brown Stapler Mouse with Green Ears from Rev. Ross McClellan

Object/Artifact

-

St. Joseph Museums

The image depicts a unique stapler designed to resemble a mouse, with its body painted to emulate the appearance of the small rodent. The top section of the stapler features a rounded, mouse-like shape complete with pointed ears and cartoonish eyes. The stapler's base is traditional and metallic, providing contrast to the creatively sculpted top, which is a rich brown hue. The combination of utilitarian function and whimsical design suggests the stapler serves as both a practical tool and decorative item. This playful design adds charm to an otherwise mundane office supply, making it both eye-catching and functional. The surface upon which the stapler rests appears textured, perhaps indicating a soft or padded material, contrasting with the stapler's smooth, hard surfaces. The ears appear to be darker than the body and are attached at the top, while the string wrapped around the base suggests potential storage or transportation considerations.
