About Antique Parker Pens

Telegraphy teacher George Parker, dissatisfied with his students’ pens, invented and patented his own feeder in 1894, making ink spills less common by drawing excess ink back into the pen. By 1908 Parker claimed to be the largest pen manufacturer in the world, and in 1941 the Parker 51 model (considered by many the finest American pen) made pen history with its quick drying ink, 14k gold nib, and quick action filler.
