About the TOOLS to LIVEBY Niagara Brass Paper Clip
Dating back to the late 19th century, paper clips were originally produced to "fit the finger," with each patented design offering its own unique magic. Invented and patented in New York in 1897, the Niagara Paper Clip is one of the oldest and most beloved historical designs in the world. Historically nicknamed the “GEM Paper Clip,” its wide, swooping double-loop structure is engineered to hold multiple pieces of paper with incredible ease. As a delightful bonus, when slipped onto a document, the clip naturally forms an elegant heart shape, bringing a sense of warmth and joy to your daily paperwork.
TOOLS to LIVEBY has resurrected this 1897 masterpiece, transforming an everyday fastener into a true luxury desk accessory. Forged from solid raw brass instead of common wire, this clip grips pages generously without ever leaving creases or marks, offering an elevated analog experience that honors the golden age of stationery.
The Beauty of Raw Brass:
- A Living Finish: Crafted from unplated brass, the Niagara clip begins with a bright, luxurious gleam. The more you handle it, the more the raw metal oxidizes, slowly developing a deeper, warmer antique patina that is entirely unique to your workspace. (Note: To easily restore its original bright luster at any time, simply wipe the metal with a dry cloth and a small drop of brass/copper polish).
- Vintage Slide Box: Each set of 10 clips is beautifully presented in a lavender archival-style slide matchbox. Featuring turn-of-the-century typography and gold foil accents, it serves as a stunning desktop display piece or the perfect gift for stationery lovers.
- Joyful Functionality: Beyond its secure, mark-free grip, the Niagara’s natural heart-shaped application makes it the ultimate decorative bookmark for journals, letters, and premium notebooks.
