This 1950s desk paper clip is crafted from brass plated with nickel and silver, giving it a cool, silvery hue with a subtly matte finish. The piece takes the form of an owl—a symbol of wisdom—firmly anchored on a rectangular base. Its detailing includes large, stylized eyes with radiating lines, a prominent beak, and a body adorned with a geometric, diamond-shaped feather motif. The spring mechanism is discreetly integrated, reinforcing the solid construction typical of mid-century modern design. The clip measures 11 cm in length, 6 cm in width, and 2.5 cm in height. A gentle patina, fine scratches, and slight discoloration attest to its vintage authenticity. The condition is rated as very good, with only minor wear consistent with careful use over decades and no major damage. In this small object, one hears the quiet voice of postwar Europe—a companion to the desks of clerks, lawyers, and accountants. The owl, immortalized in metal, speaks to the values of knowledge and attention that gained renewed importance in the order-seeking 1950s. The geometric feather patterns and stylized eyes reveal a sensitivity
