The
Early Office Museum website has a smart and fun infographic chart on the
History of the Paper Clip. Office supplies obsessives will be happy to see that the chart focuses on the golden age of paper clip design, 1867-1936. Apparently there has been little advancement in the paper clip world since the mid-30s. When you're done looking at paper clips, you may want to view other goodies from the museum, including loving displays on
pencil sharpeners,
typewriters,
adding machines, and
pens and accessories.
