Notwithstanding the tremendous variation in sizes and materials, a typical paperclip weighs about 0.0031 pounds. The country of Norway has used the paper clip as something of a national symbol since the end of World War II based on the erroneous notion that the paperclip was invented by a Norwegian, Johan Vaaler.
