PARKER PENS

George Stafford Parker was the person who came up with the parker pens. He wanted something that wouldn’t leak ink all over and his belief was if he made an improved pen people would definitely buy them. George Parker was a telegraphy teacher and his main customers back then were his own telegraphy students. He also sold his parker pens to John Holland Pen Company initially. The parker pen company was actually born in the year 1888, set in Janesvilla Winconsin. The major breakthrough for the Parker pen company came in the year 1894 with the advent of Lucky curve ink feeding technology.

In the year 1898 he came up with the slip-on outer pen cap, this Parker pen was considered the best with the vital components held with in the barrel making sure the ink doesn’t leak. In the year 1900 the Gold filigree Lucky curve pens came to existence. In 1905 he developed the “Spear head” ink feed Parker pens. The next year “The sterling silver and Gold Snake Pen” were developed.

The lucky curve which was a major introduction by the Parker Pen Company was used way up till 1929. This technique involved an ink sac that was used to fit he portion of the feed in, to ensure the feed contact with the sac. Today the Parker eyedropper filled pens are considered to be rare and exquisite; there are many versions that come along with it. The introduction of Jack Knife Safety pen took the Company to another level of success.

The Parker pens came in all sizes right from the tiny ring tops to oversize 281/2 s. They had varieties such as clips with gold and nickel plates, plain black hard rubber, black chased hard rubber and overlays with intricate designs. In the year 1921 they came up with a Parker pen “The Duofold“.
