Neva Clog S-100 black finish
Neva Clog S-100 chrome finishNeva Clog produced many models of plier staplers to perform different tasks. As the J-30, J-60, and J-56R were more suited to the office, the S-100, F-100, and B-100 models were meant for tougher tasks. I've found reference to them used by leather workers and even corn breeders (Maize Newsletter Issue 15, 1941). As seen illustrated below, the S, F and B-100s varied in jaw opening size. The S-100 and F-100 used either A-1000 (1/4" leg) or L-1000 (5/16" leg), where as the B-100 had it's own B-staples. If you find yourself confused by all the stapler and staple model numbers, you're not alone. There's really no discernible logic to these names but it's interesting to hypothesize what different things one would staple with each model. I measured and my index finger would fit in a 1/2" jaw opening which brings back a rather unhappy childhood memory. You can fill in the details. Luckily, these S-100s only have 9/32" of clearance so I won't have to relive that experience.

Hi,
ZEB makes staples for many obsolete staplers. See zebmfg.com
As a example, related to this post, we have Neva-Clog A-1000, L-1000, B-1/4, B-3/8, and DJ340 staples in stock.
We'd make other obsolete staples not listed in our catalog, if we could get a large enough group together that can justify a run. Just a thought!

I found a neva-clog J30 stapler in seemingly nice and working condition (of course it had no staples) at my local salvation army, I thought maybe it was something special but was not sure, your blog has proved to me that it is, Looking online I cant seem to find out how old it is, and how much it was or is worth. Just wondering if you had any insight in that area.
Thank you
The J30 is certainly not made any more. It is probably at least 30 years old. It takes DJ340 staples, which we have in stock. See zebstaples.com
As to value, I’m not sure about that. I’ve seen them sold anywhere from $25 to $50.
