Any chance you have the number of the stapler?
I have a box of staples that are too narrow for my "standard" stapler, they say they are for a Swingline 10401 (plus a list of other staplers). Below is a shot of the difference.
The standard one looks to be about a 1/2" wide (outside to outside) and the smaller one looks more like 3/8" inside to inside.
None of the boxes I have talk about the width of the staple, only what model it fits and the length of the leg.

If they are the same size as a staple for an office paper stapler they will fit. I can't use those because they are too thin. The only number on the stapler is 101.
Maybe??

Any chance that this is the same type of stapler?

If so, it says it uses 101-4 (1/4") and 101-5 (5/16") and a search finds many sources for those staples
In theory Arrow 60430 (1/4") should work

There are also 605 and 606 series Arrow staples that MAY be the correct width, but I think it's the 604 you are looking for.
I had a Craftsman stapler that ran out and I needed replacements (very long time ago) and the hardware sales person pulled out their Arrow catalog and it had a cross reference for nearly every stapler.

That appears to be the same stapler and the staples probably will fit. Thank you.
