Even though most business and communications in America are conducted in English, we do not have an official language. And you may be surprised at how many Americans speak more than one language. Business Insider put together a map of the most prevalent language in each state, excluding English and Spanish. Some of these languages have been handed down from ancestors for hundreds of years, while others are due to relatively recent immigrants flocking to areas with other immigrants from the same nations. You might be interested in comparing this map to one we posted in 2014, as there have been some changes.

Or a Mega-Trangoshan Trans-dimensional, Hyperspatial Planetary Tattoo Gun - widely used in the galactic advertising trade.
On my Mac laptop, its probably some sort of ball marker, but too small to be a golf ball marker.. (use your imagination, fidelity for the win)
My other guess is that it's either used to put a wax seal on wine bottles, or put a cap on a bottle of beer / alcohol
Of course, I could be mixing it up with the golf ball divet maker from way back when.

My balls are monogrammed, with my DNA.
Like one seals used on letters in the old days to identify the sender, and verify that the letter has not been opened.
BTW I don't think identifying the Stevenson Staple Sucker is "easy" for the average "staple ignorant" population. Also, Stevenson later went on to change the name of his company to ACME and was very successful, especially due to an excellent product delivery system.
