In April 1849, Walter Hunt, born in 1796, invented the safety pin to pay a debt of $15 to a friend. Walter Hunt was an American mechanic. Unfortunately, Hunt did not get any real cash or fame from his invention so he sold the patent to “W. R. Grace and Company” for $400. He paid his friend back with that money and pocketed the remaining $385. Hunt made the safety pin to improve the ‘dress pin’ and prevent injuries to fingers and other parts of the body. It said that he made the safety pin with a brass wire of about 8 inches in length. The basic design invented by Walter Hunt in 1849 is still used today.
