Cast in solid brass, this cute tape dispenser has a vintage feel to it that largely comes from having the office supply shaped like a spinning wheel. Since the tape dispenser is made from solid metal, it's weighty enough to pull tape from this device using only one hand.

Despite the tape dispense having a little weight to it, the office supply's form also lends itself quite well to being transported around as needed, thanks to a space at the bottom for your hand to slide under. The rotor and cutting blade on this tool are also made from solid brass, so that you can be sure that this tape dispenser will be as lasting as it is pleasing to look at.
