-THE BITCOIN BORACAY ISLAND LIFE-

Walter Hunt created the safety pin in 1849. Today, it still looks almost exactly same as when he invented it.

Sadly, Hunt, needing to settle a $15 debt, sold the patent rights for just $400 โ€” far less than the fortune it later generated.

Other companies made millions of dollars off the product.

Crafted from a single piece of wire with a coiled spring and protective clasp, his design was both simple and effective.

Beyond the safety pin, Hunt developed early sewing machines, repeating rifles, a streetcar bell, and even a precursor to the Winchester rifle. Though his inventive mind greatly influenced various industries, he rarely profited from his creations. Yet, his legacy lives on, with the safety pin remaining a staple in households worldwide.

The next time you use one, think of Hunt.
