Alphabetical Paperclips

paperclips_comunicadores.in.jpg Such a small detail, but what a noticeable functional improvement these Alphabetical Paperclips are for those of us looking to take our home office paperwork organization one extra step further...

Charles & Marie offer these right now for a hefty $25 for a set of 27 etched stainless steel clips. At that price, we might be better served using these as money clips.

I love these! Bert would, too!

I feel like good design has been overlooked in favor of precious-ness (and price) here. The letters aren't particularly noticeable or readable at an angle. In particular, b, q, p, and o can get confusing. And if I were to organize my files in alphabetical order, I'd prefer plain old file folders. I'd rather see clips that take the shapes of letterforms, instead of teeny letters tacked on to regular paper clips.

That is a really neat concept! It probably really wouldn't be bad as a money clip LOL.

Seems like they are for those with OCD.

the letters could work if they were located on the upper outer edge of the clip so that you could glance and see which stack was which without having to shuffle through each lot.
