Sheaffer Timeline

2010-01-04T18:54:00.000-08:00

Quick facts about Sheaffer Pens:

In 1907, Walter A. Sheaffer invented the lever filler mechanism. Five years later in 1912, production of Sheaffer pens began. Listed below are just a few important product introduction dates in Sheaffer history.

1920 - Lifetime Pen

1922 - Skrip Ink

1922 - Radite caps and barrels

1924 - White Dot

1930 - Balance Pen

1931 - Feather Touch Nib

1934 - W.A.S.P.

Sheaffer introduced the Wasp sub-brand in 1934, the name literally an acronym for "W. A. Sheaffer Pen". This acronym can be traced back to advertising from the second decade of the twentieth century appearing as shorthand for the company name.

1935 - Vac-Fil filling system

Sheaffer introduced the plunger fill Vacuum Filling system in 1934, initially on second brands including the "Vacuum-Fil" pen and the WASP line. This sacless filling system used a long syringe-like plunger rod tightly fitted into a cylindrical ink chamber that on the downstroke creates a vacuum inside the ink chamber that draws ink into the pen through the feed. Sheaffer adapted this filling system to the Balance line in 1935 and advertised this system side by side with the proven lever filler. This type of filler was not unique, with Conklin, Wahl Eversharp and numerous second tier manufacturers using similar plunger systems in their pens.

1936 - Transparent ink view section
1942 - Triumph conical shaped nib
1946 - Stratowriter Ballpoint
1948 - Injection molded plastic caps and barrels

1949 - Touchdown filling system

A series of pens made by Sheaffer beginning in 1949; supplanted in 1952 by the Snorkel but resurrected in the 1960s.

Touchdown and Snorkel Sheaffer proprietary. Design: Pneumatic ink-sac compression.The sac is protected by a close-fitting metal tube. A second metal tube, called the “Touchdown tube,” slides within the barrel on an airtight seal. A blind cap is attached to the Touchdown tube to secure it in the retracted position and to give the user a suitable “knob” to operate. There are a small hole partway along the length of the Touchdown tube and a small dimpled groove in the tube adjacent to the blind cap. When the Touchdown tube is extended, a partial vacuum builds until the small hole passes the barrel seal; air is then drawn into the barrel. The partial vacuum would normally distend the sac, but the sac protector prevents this distension. When theTouchdown tube is returned to its rest position, the air within is compressed, squeezing the sac. Pressure is released as the Touchdown tube nears the end of its travel and the dimpled groove passes the seal, and the sac draws ink in by resuming its normal shape. This design is functionally the same as that of Chilton’s second version. In Snorkel models, releasing the Touchdown tube to operate also extends a small “Snorkel” tube from within the feed, beneath the nib. There is also a TIPdip version of the Touchdown, which has a hole at the end of the feed under the nib, where the Snorkel tube appears in Snorkel models.

There are full-color 3D cutaways of a Snorkel and a Touchdown in Design Features: Pneumatic Pens. The Snorkel system is explained in detail in Anatomy of a Fountain Pen III: Sheaffer’s Snorkel.

To fill (Touchdown or TIPdip): Unscrew blind cap. With pen over a sink, rag, or other ink catcher, pull blind cap out to extend Touchdown tube. The pen may expel a small amount of ink as you do this. Do not immerse any portion of the pen in ink while extending the Touchdown tube! Immerse nib and part of section (Touchdown), or just tip half of nib and feed (TIPdip), into ink. Press down smoothly on blind cap, returning Touchdown tube to its rest position. Wait 10 seconds. Remove pen from ink and screw blind cap to secure Touchdown tube. Clean.

1952 - Snorkel filling system

To fill (Snorkel): Unscrew blind cap, pushing gently toward barrel while unscrewing to ensure that Snorkel tube, which might be a little sticky, extends fully; and turn blind cap until you feel a soft but distinct “click.” With pen over a sink, rag, or other ink catcher, pull blind cap out to extend Touchdown tube. The pen may expel a small amount of ink as you do this. Do not immerse any portion of the pen in ink while extending the Touchdown tube! Immerse tip of Snorkel tube into ink. (If filling a completely dry pen, immerse nib and part of section.) Press down smoothly on blind cap, returning Touchdown tube to its rest position. Wait 10 seconds. Remove pen from ink and screw blind cap to secure Touchdown tube and retract Snorkel tube. Do not clean the ink from the Snorkel tube; any ink remaining on the exterior will assist in restarting capillary action to direct ink to the nib tip. (If you were filling a completely dry pen and immersed the nib, clean it after retracting the Snorkel tube.)

1955 - Cartridge filling fountain pens

1959 - PFM

The shimmer of Sheaffer's unique inlaid nib is created by a special blend of material ranging from alloys to pure gold.
One of the foremost technologies Sheaffer pioneered in the 1920's was a way to make pen caps and barrels of plastic.
Sheaffer began with just seven employees in 1912, crowded into the small back room of a jewelry store in Fort Madison, Iowa, USA. Sheaffer was incorporated in 1913.
The United Nations Charter was signed with a Sheaffer pen on June 26, 1945.
The first Sheaffer ballpoint pen was manufactured and sold in 1946.
In November 1951, the 50 millionth Sheaffer pen came off the assembly line.
W.A. Sheaffer was 45 years of age when he risked his life-savings to start the Company that would grow into a world-renowned brand name.
On December 18, 2001 Sheaffer employees opened a 50-year old time capsule sealed in the lobby wall in the Fort Madison, Iowa facility. Among other predictions, nearly 70% of the employees of a half-century ago thought a cure for the common cold might be found by 2001!
Walter Sheaffer was 45 years of age when he risked his life-savings to start the Company that would develop into a world-known brand name.
There were already 58 other established pen companies when Sheaffer made history with his patented, high quality, self-filling fountain pen - which revolutionized the writing world.

Parker Argentina

2010-01-04T18:41:00.000-08:00

Parker pen production in Argentina

First model manufactured: Parker 51. In the time when company globalisation was not well developed, the big pen companies were forced to set up local manufacturing facilities to compete, thus avoiding high importation taxes and trade barriers. Only half a century after Parker opened their operations in Argentina, and as a result of successive company take-overs, the official company archives have been lost and the history has to be constructed through sales catalogues, collections and memories of pen business people. I should add that even less is known about trade marks from other Argentinian companies such as ‘Escritor’, ‘Muneca’, ‘303’, ‘Federal’ and the local affiliated company of Sheaffer.

Parker started its activities in Argentina in 1957/58 with the acquisition of ‘Birome’, founded by Lazlo Biro, through the company ‘Interim’ which was producing Super Quink ink.

Parker 51

The first pen manufactured by Parker in Argentina was the successful model ’51 Aniversario’ with the aerometric filling system. The 51 Vacumatic was never made in Argentina. The cylindrical ink reservoir was short and had an uncovered folded bar, similar to the ‘21’.
A short time later the models 51 ‘Custom’ (with gold filled cap) and ‘Insignia’ (gold filled cap and body) were introduced, and the reservoirs were modified successively; initially a cylindrical shape with a plastic black end was used and then a completely metal reservoir (with a window to access the filler bar). The inscription on the reservoir was ‘Parker 51, apriete la barra’ (press the bar) or ‘Parker, apriete la barra’ or a third option ‘Industria Argentina’.

The bodies and sections were machined from rods of Lucite (Polymethyl methacrylate or PMMA) in the following solid colours: black, grey, blue (in two different shades), forest green, burgundy and plum. Initially some parts were imported, but very soon all the parts, including nibs, were made on-site. The ‘51’ line was discontinued in 1973. Parker Argentina never made the ‘51’ model in colours such as cocoa, mustard, tan or in styles such as pearlescent, striated or twisted patterns or in any material other than PMMA. exotic colours, offered as Argentinian production in the Internet, are current production not of Parker origin.

Parker Argentina also manufactured the ‘Jotter’ and the pencils and ball pens of the ‘51’ line (actually ‘51’ ball pens are very scarce). Virtually all pieces in the ‘51’ line have a pearlescent tassie and the model number is not engraved on the cap. Only very late in production, some ‘51’ pens bear a black tassie. Model ‘21’ has never been manufactured in Argentina.

Parker 45

The economy line included the ‘Eversharp’ and the ‘45’. The latter, introduced shortly after the ‘51’ line, has a body and shell made from acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer and a brushed stainless steel or gold filled cap, initially with the arrow clip. These were manufactured in green, black, red, blue and grey.

The green colour was discontinued inv 1968. In addition, ‘Insignia’ with section and body in gold filled and ‘Flighter’, stainless steel, were also produced as part of this line Only later were ‘45s’ produced with epoxy finishes in black, brown, white and grey.

Soon after the launch of the model ‘61’ Mk II in Argentina, the clips of the ‘61’ and ‘45’ were unified. In this way the Argentinian ‘45’ assumed a ’61-like’ clip. The pencil and ball-pen from both lines are easily differentiated because the ‘61’ line always carries the model number and a pearlescent or black tassie on the cap, whilst the ‘45’ carries no engraved number and metal-only tassies.

Parker 61

The model ’61’ Mk II (with cylindrical ink reservoir similar to the ‘51’) was manufactured for 7 years only, from around 1969 until 1976. The capillary version was never made in Argentina.

Of significance is the fact that instead of the familiar metallic arrow embedded in the shell, the Argentinian ‘61’ exhibits a pair of small metallic dots of about 1mm diameter. The ‘61’ line was made of PMMA in black, blue turquoise (azul vista ), rage red (rojo brama), green turquoise (verde cresta); forest green, grey and blue. These were offered with satin steel caps with a bright trim, ‘de-luxe’ models with steel caps and gold-filled clips or Custom models with gold filled caps . Also available were the ‘Insignia’ (body and cap gold filled) and the ‘Flighter’, which offered the shell in any of the above colours . Sets were made up of three pieces with matching or (to distinguish between pieces clipped on the pocket) different coloured tassies. All these pieces have the number engraved on the cap. Pencils that matched the ‘61’ and ’45’ type were initially twist type, but later on the pushing action lead feed was introduced using the same body as the ball pen.

Classic Line

In 1975 Parker introduced a set of ball pens and pencils in the ‘Classic’ line (Flighter, Custom and Insignia). Some finishes were exclusive to Argentina, such as the ‘Zebra’ (parallel enamelled bands) and the checked pattern (with 1mm squares). A student line of lower priced pens called ‘Beta’, with cap and body in plastic, was also exclusively produced in Argentina.

During the 1980s the local activities were gradually reduced until the Parker site was eventually closed down at the end of the decade. Some of the pieces of this production, especially those based on the ‘61’ model, are the best examples of highly stylised lines offering excellent quality, reliability and smooth writing characteristics. The richness and intensity of some of the beautiful colours, along with contrast between body and cap, make me think that they are some of the best and most attractive modern Parker products in the world. Even the unpretentious ‘45’ has very elegant combinations of colours and metallic finishes!

Parker Pen Brief History

2010-01-04T10:19:00.000-08:00

Parker Pen Company
The Parker Pen Company, founded in 1891 by George Stafford Parker in Janesville, Wisconsin, is best known for making pens that are among the most prestigious and collectible in the world. [1]
History
George Parker, the founder, had previously been a sales agent for the John Holland Gold Pen Company. He received his first fountain pen related patent in 1889. In 1894 Parker received a patent on his "Lucky Curve" feed, which was claimed to draw excess ink back into the pen body when the pen was not in use. The Lucky Curve feed was used in various forms until 1928.

From the 1920s to the 1960s, up until the ascendance of the ballpoint pen, Parker was either number one or number two in worldwide writing instrument sales. In 1931 Parker created Quink "quick drying ink" which eliminated the need for blotting and led to the development of the most widely used model of fountain pen in history (over $400 million worth of sales in its 30 year history) the Parker 51. Manufacturing facilities were set up over the years in Canada, England, Denmark, France, Mexico, and Argentina. Parker pens were frequently selected (often as favorite pens of the signers) to sign important documents such as the World War II armistices, and commemorative editions were sometimes offered.

In 1976 Parker acquired Manpower just as the temporary staffing market was surging. In time Manpower provided more revenue than the pen business.

A management buyout in 1987 moved the company headquarters to Newhaven, East Sussex, England. In 1993 Parker was acquired by the Gillette Company, which already owned the PaperMate brand, one of the best-selling disposable ballpoints. Gillette sold the writing instruments division in 2000 to Newell Rubbermaid, whose own Stationery Division, Sanford, became the largest in the world owning such brand names as Rotring, Sharpie, Reynolds as well as Parker, PaperMate, Waterman and Liquid Paper.

Evita, Eva Peron

2010-01-04T08:58:00.001-08:00

Although Maria Eva Duarte de Peron, known throughout the world as Evita, lived very briefly, her impact on Argentine politics was enormous and continues today, more than four decades after her death.
Evita was born in the squalid village of Los Toldos in 1919, one of five illegitimate children her mother bore to Juan Duarte. After her father's death, the family moved to the north western provincial town of Junin. It was in Junin, at the age of 14, that she became determined to be an actress, and when she was given the opportunity to flee the dusty town, she grabbed it. Evita ran off to Buenos Aries, the cultural mecca of Latin America. As an aspiring 15 year old actress, Evita faced almost insurmountable odds in landing jobs in the theatre. She led a miserable existence, often falling ill and never having much to eat. Her opportunities took a dramatic leap forward when a rich manufacturer fell for her and provided her with her own radio show. Shortly thereafter, Evita's voice became a regular feature on the airwaves of Radio El Mundo.

Evita met Colonel Juan Domingo Peron, the reputed power behind the new military government. She wasted no time in catching the widowed colonel and later left the fundraiser on his arm.
Evita assisted her husband's rise to power in ways that were beyond the imagination of even the most astute politicians. When Peron became Minister of Labour and Welfare, Evita convinced him that his real power base should be the previously ignored masses of labourers living in the horrible villas miseria (slums) that still ring the capital city.

A stream of pronouncements issued forth from the ministry instituting minimum wages, better living conditions, salary increases and protection from employers. The working class, for the first time in Argentina's history, began to see some of the profits of its labour. Additionally, and most brilliantly, Peron empowered and shepherded the giant Confederation General del Trabajo (CGT or General Confederation of Labour).

It was not long before Evita called Peron's constituency the descamisados, the shirtless ones to his aid. An army coup was on the point of success when Evita called all her chips in. Upwards of 200,000 descamisados entered the capital city and demanded that Peron be their president. The colonel accepted the mandate of the Argentine people.
Evita, now married to Peron, cemented her ties with the workers by establishing the Social Aid Foundation. Through this charity, scores of hospitals and hundreds of schools were built, nurses trained, and money dispensed to the poor. Evita also furthered the cause of the women's political party, the Peronista Feminist Party.
Perhaps Evita's finest personal and political moment came with her long tour of Europe, during which she met with Franco, the dictator of Spain, Pope Pius XII, and the Italian and French foreign ministers.

She absolutely dazzled post war Europe with her jewels and elegant gowns. Her rags to riches story was told and retold in the press, and she was even on the cover of Time magazine. The peoples heroine was dying by 1952, a victim of uterine cancer, but she kept up her intense work schedule. At her last speech, on May Day, her husband had to hold her up as she spoke to the descamisados. Evita death on July 26, 1952. Her body was embalmed, and at her wake thousands paid their last respects.

In 1955, Evita's corpse disappeared, stolen by the military after they had deposed Juan Peron. It was carried to Germany and then Italy, where it was interred for 16 years under another name. After negotiations, it was finally returned to her husband in Spain.

Evita's long odyssey came to an end when Juan Peron died in Argentina in 1974. Her coffin was brought from spain and lay in state next to that of the one she had said she would die for.

Sheaffer pen History

2010-01-04T07:18:00.001-08:00

Sheaffer pens were one of the "Big Four" American pen manufacturers of the classic era, and is probably the only one that today survives close to its original configuration. Although Sheaffer's ownership changed (it is currently owned by French based Bic Pen Company), they continue to design and manufacture the majority of their pens.

It should be noted though that why Sheaffer is the original spelling, many people write it as 'Shaeffer' or even 'Schaeffer'.

The Sheaffer story begins in 1907, when Sheaffer began work on his own unique fountain pen design. The invention of the lever filling fountain pen in Fort Madison (Iowa) gave a kick-start to a newly born penmaker. The fountain pens of the day were cumbersome and messy to change refill inks, requiring an eyedropper and a steady hand. Sheaffer's disliking of the inconvenience made him seek a refilling method that would be as simple and clean as possible.

The result, the first practical lever filling fountain pen, earned Walter Sheaffer a U.S. patent in August of 1908. By the next year, he had his first patent. A single stroke of a slim metal lever filled the pen reservoir directly from the ink bottle. Local reception was so enthusiastic that Sheaffer decided to risk his life savings to establish the W.A. Sheaffer Pen Company in 1912.

Early fountain pens were rather expensive, and were regarded as not always perfectly reliable. Sheaffer designed a fountain pen that carried a nearly unconditional lifetime guarantee. The "Lifetime" pen, as it was called, was launched in about 1920 for prices starting at $8.75 - twice of what Sheaffer charged for comparable non-Lifetime models
The Sheaffer lever fill system would go on to become the standard of the industry in the U.S. and abroad for several years after the Sheaffer company itself gave them up in the 1940s. However, despite the firm's vigorous legal defense of its patents, the lever filler soon spread to most of the rest of the industry. and the company's offerings were no longer unique. It was time for more innovation.

Sheaffer developed its own aniline based "writing fluid," which was marketed as "Skrip, the successor to ink." It could be that Sheaffer wanted to banish the bad reputation of early acidic ink formulations (which were never intended for use in fountain pens), or it could be that they just tested a new marketing strategy, but in any case they took great troubles for many years to avoid using the term "ink" in connection with Skrip writing fluid.

Sheaffer Offical Story

2010-01-04T07:14:00.000-08:00

The year: 1912. The place: Fort Madison, Iowa. Walter A. Sheaffer takes his grand idea of a pen-filling apparatus that utilizes a lever system and, with his life savings, founds the W.A. Sheaffer company. The physical space of the company is a modest one - the backroom of Mr. Sheaffer's jewelry store - but the vision of the company is much more than modest. Nearly a century later, we continue to offer generation after generation innovative, reliable and stylish writing instruments. These pens are used worldwide by loyal and diverse friends who appreciate elegance and class. We look back to the nostalgic past, to simpler times when a look in the eye and a hand shake was the norm. We look to the abundant future, by redefining the fashion of written communication in our technological world. You have a signature. And Sheaffer gives you the power to show the world what it is.
