Is there a price on it?

I found 5 coffee cans filled with quarters one time....only problem was the home owner still resided there. Lol

Is there a price on it?

Sure isn't. The print on all four sides of the box is identical. The top is missing and the bottom is blank. I want to say its circa 1972 or earlier.

It's gotta be in the South. Hardly ever see those metal staples around here.

They wouldn't rust in an attic around here. I rarely use anything other than a metal staple.

I know you'll say they work fine but how do you keep from damaging the wire? Around here you'll only see them on old BX or something like that. Some of the old Romex was installed with 2-hole straps but other than that it's mostly plastic staples up here.

I seriously have never used anything different in 29 years. t is called using touch and not just banging everything home.

I seriously believe you too. Up here on the frozen tundra it might be considered hack! I've never even seen them for sale at the supply house or elsewhere.

I nail a staple, then run a piece of 14 or 12 thru it and around the wires. So I guess as many as the framing cavity will hold.
