Antique German DRGM No. 108 Desk Paper Hole Punch – c.1910–1930

Antique German DRGM No. 108 Desk Paper Hole Punch – c.1910–1930 A genuine antique German desk paper hole punch, marked DRGM (Deutsches Reichsgebrauchsmuster – German Registered Design) and No. 108. This is a substantial early 20th-century office tool, made from pressed steel with its original black japanned finish and twin return springs. Designed for punching single holes in paper, it would have been used in offices, schools and businesses before the widespread use of modern lever punches. The punch is in good vintage condition for its age, showing honest wear and patina consistent with over 100 years of use. It has a great industrial look and would make an excellent addition to a collection of antique office equipment, desktop accessories or vintage industrial décor.
