(there's a lovely picture of a patent sketch for a paperclip making machine - absolutely fascinating - well it was to me anyway).
Invented by a Norwegian engineer - another useful bit of information.
Paperclips are also very useful for demonstrating "work hardening" in metals !!

Not only that, but where do they make things. e.g. have you ever opened a bottle and found a little white cardboard disc that sits inside the lid, or on top of the bottle neck, that's just loose and doesn't appear to do anything and you usually throw it away? Where do they make those? Where's the factory where people spend their days turning out little white throwaway discs?
