The first patent was awarded to Samuel B. Fay in 1867 and was a steel wire that bent into loops to hold paper together. The Gem Manufacturing Company produced them. John Vaaler has been identified as the inventor of the paperclip in 1901 but a better product was already on the market. Today, paperclips are colourful, different shapes and are plastic.
