SHEAFFER Calligrapher
 
 |
 The
Sheaffer® story begins in 1907, with the invention of the lever
filling fountain pen by Walter A. Sheaffer in Fort Madison, Iowa.
The fountain pens of the day were cumbersome and messy to refill,
requiring an eyedropper and a steady hand. Sheaffer's dissatisfaction
with this inconvenience led him to seek a refilling method that would
be simple and clean.
 The
result, the first practical lever filling fountain pen, earned Walter
Sheaffer a U.S. patent in August of 1908. 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.
Since October 1997, Sheaffer® has been part of the BIC Group and
today is the trademark for its premium writing instruments. |

 Raymond
Savignac, the famous French poster-designer, created
the BIC® Boy in 1961. He developed an advertising campaign
to promote BIC's new ballpoint pen with the ball made of tungsten
carbide. Hoping to attract the attention of children, he designed
a schoolboy with his head replaced by the pen's ball and holding
a pen behind his back. |
