For your consideration is this metal paperclip advertising the Eureka Fire Hose, a divison of the United States Rubber Company, Mechanical Goods Division, New York. Written on the coils of the hose are the various brands that the company made - Eureka Fire hose, Red Cross Fire Hose, Surprise Fire hose, Peerless fire hose, and Eagle fire hose. The clip is 2 1/2 inches long, 2 inches wide, and is brass-colored, but I am not sure what kind of metal it is made of. The clip is stamped on the back with the name of the maker: "J. E. Mergott Co., Newark, N. J." This company was founded in the late 1800s and made thousands of different novelty items. This paperclip came from a small bank in Mississippi w my father worked for thirty-eight years. When he retired in 1985, my father took the paperclip with him as a souvenir. I don't know how old it is, but believe it is probably from the early 1900s.
