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.

At my desk I have a small paperclip, about 1.25 inches overall length whose wire diameter is about 0.031 inches, or about 1/32", or 0.8mm and a larger paperclip, about 1.5 inches overall length whose wire diameter is about 0.040 inches, or almost 3/64" inches, or 1.02 mm.
Well, there are two poles to a magnet. A negative one and a positive one. Since metals are good conductors of charge and the paper clip is a metal object, they will attract. The charge of the paperclip is opposite the charge to one of the poles of the magnet.
By definition, every gram contains 1000 milligrams. Therefore, the mass of the stated paperclip is 15,000 milligrams.
It was an ordinary day outside; the sun was shining through the clouds.
Samuel Fay invented the first paperclip.
The paperclip was invented in 1899 by Johan Vaaler. He received an American patent in 1901. ;)

In 1899, a Norwegian inventor named Johan Vaaler invented a beautiful thing! the Paperclip!! Now, thanks to Johan, the paperclip is a world wide item that comes in different colors and shapes! Thank You Johan Vaaler!!
The person who invented the paperclip in 1900
in 1899 by a norweigen man called Johan Vaaler
There are some articles talking about this in Wikipedia, but as I heard from my teacher who has lots of knowledge, it was invented by a child who was in school, playing with a piece of thin metal, and when he turned in his homework, he twisted it around and used it as a paperclip that's used these days. I'm pretty sure that the paperclip the child made didn't look exactly the same as today's paperclip.
Depends on what he/she invented. Paperclip inventor vs Shamwow.
