The first paper clip was patented in 1867, but it wasn't the ubiquitous shape recognized and used by today's office workers. In fact, dozens of creatively shaped clips have been used to wrangle sheaves of paper around the world since the nineteenth century. Organize your desk or office space with these vintage-style paper clips, all reproduced from designs patented between 1897 and 1910. We're offering a set of twenty (two each of ten shapes) crafted in brass and silver for discerning organizers and style gurus.
