Parker Pens: A Brief History
The Parker Pen Manufacturer was established around 1889, however about 50 years before yet another Parker water feature pen was patented by John Jacob Parker. By the turn of the century, Parker Pens Company had become a premier manufacturer of fountain pens. Their headquarters had been at 170 Mill Street, Janesville Wi, and they had a retail store store in the Woolworth Making in New York City.
Parkers early pens labored by possessing a feed using a procedure manufactured below the nib of the pen. Air flowed up the procedure into the pen’s reservoir, that made the ink circulation in the opposite direction. The pens had a hollow barrel to hold the ink, and these barrels had been crammed using eyedroppers. As a result they had been called eyedropper pens. Most had been exquisitely beautiful. Parker offered a yellow metal crammed, 5 1/4 inch eyedropper pen using an acid etched design. Its elegance was this kind of that there’s one very much enjoy it in the Parker Museum. Yet another pen, the No. 15, made in 1905, had a barrel that alternated separating rpc_15_rpc of pearl and abalone. The cap was made of dark rubber embellished using dog swirls. The top of the cap was additionally yellow metal. The No. 47, rpc_47_rpc in 1911, had a yellow metal, acid etched cap, although the barrel was made of abalone shell and had a nacreous, bulging bring about.
Regardless of the beauty of their dog pens, Parkers rivals, such as the L.E. Waterman Manufacturer and the Conklin Manufacturer, advanced the know-how of their dog pens by adding spirals inside the barrels that inspired the nib to retract into the ink chamber. Doing so kept the dog pens from leaking, and so these folks had been named security dog pens. These manufacturers additionally pioneered self-filling dog pens. They had been so prosperous that Parker, that didnt sense the want increase their know-how really much, had to adjust. In 1904 these folks created the button filler. Doing so system was utilized on its Duofold series, dog pens that wrote strongly and well, according to the company, using the lightest touch.
“Now we are using Parker Permanite, a new material,” one of Parker Pens advertisements bragged. One Duofold type was the Yellow Duofold, which George Parker created after he’d gone to China and been impressed by a shade of the color yellow he found there. The Duofold cost $7.00 in 1927, which was quite pricey. It never sold well and is a collectors item today.
In the meantime, Parker Pens rivals were always improving with suction fillers, hatchet fillers, and piston fillers. Parker was still making button fillers into the 30s, but launched its aeromatic filler in the 1950s with its popular 51 series. Now, owned by Newell Rubbermaid, and facing some economic hard times, they manufacture ball point as well as fountain pens, and Quink the company’s famous fast drying ink.
