All About The Benjamins
Are vagrant bills, receipts and checks threatening to start a war in your back pocket? Provide errant bucks with some much-needed governance with this clever clip featuring a vintage stamp and an inspirational quotation by the father of the US Postal System, Benjamin Franklin.
This handsome money clip features an authentic 1-cent stamp issued in 1903 and designed by R. Ostrander Smith who incorporated symbols representative of Franklin's scientific experimentations with electricity. The phrase "A penny saved is a penny earned" is from Franklin's Poor Richard's Almanac, published in 1733. Franklin's famous recommendation is etched into the money clip and serves as a subtle reminder that every penny pinched adds up.
Stamps are embedded in pewter and coated in a clear, protective resin finish. Clip is made of white brass. Made in Rhode Island.
Exclusively at UncommonGoods.

These just don't seem up to the creative quality I've come to expect from Uncommon Goods

Clever and stylish, but too expensive for pewter ... bring the price down to about $25?
Pam
I really like the uniqueness... outa my budget though

We're excited to see feedback on these creative clips coming in already! The first few comments have mentioned the price, so we just want to provide a little more information on the product. The estimated price factors in the cost of the metal (pewter and stainless steel), manufacturing and engraving and the cost of the stamps, which are authentic.Would you rather let Truman hold your bucks, or are Ben's words of wisdom more your style?

I would have a hard time deciding which to buy!

Cute concept, but the type faces are horrible... They do not reflect or compliment the vintage quality of the stamps.

not worth taking that much out of my paperclip to spend on it... perhaps for less

not very elegant... don't like engraved phrases

I agree with those who don't like the engravings. I think these would be much more attractive without them. The engravings make the clips look cheap.

I like the sayings. Would be a great gift to remind someone to think before they spend their money! I would buy it as a gift, but not for myself.

My step father uses a money clip so therefore I have purchased a number over the years and there are much more attractive and unique clips out there, these are just cheezy.

why is everything so overpriced????
Cassie, UncommonGoods Community Moderator
Thanks for the question, Deborah. It costs us a bit more to acquire truly unique goods, and therefore the overall cost is a little higher than it would be if we offered mass-produced items. We work hard to find the best quality goods, made from great material by people who are paid fairly and by companies that meet safety and environmental standards. For example, these money clips are made in the USA using quality pewter and stainless steel. Each is engraved and features a real postage stamp. The estimated price is a reflection of the uniqueness, the cost of the materials and labor costs. I hope that answers your question. Thanks for using our voting app!
Is the price for a set of two or is it individual?
Cassie, UncommonGoods Community Moderator
Thanks for the question, Mystery Voter. The price is for one clip. If chosen for our assortment, they would be sold separately.

Like the other money clips better... I don't really get these. The Yiddish quote money clip is so much better!

Without the engraved quotes, I would consider buying this as a gift. With the engraved quotes, I would double check the cover of the catalogue to make sure it wasn't a groomsman's gift from Things Remembered.
