Many people are likely to raise the corners, when they hear someone willing to pay $ 40,000 to buy the ink pen. Renaissance Pen Co. founder Patrick Pinkston, however, says that number - it seems unfair, what is ostensibly "just" a written instrument - is an indication that these pens are also specific works of art.
1. Insanely expensive pens for art
The high price of ink pens to seek the Commission's approach to Fisher, Michel Perchin and other industry leaders to make the product available to a limited edition basis. This trend first arose in the early 1990s, creating new markets and pricey items Fountain Pen Hospital Chairman Terry Wiederlight said the pens of more than jewelry.
Price range pens are quite extreme. Fisher pen can write upside-down is available for $ 15. On the other hand, Modernista Diamonds pen Caran d'Ache - which has more than 5,000 small diamonds - pays the buyer $ 230,000. The most important thing is that the ink pen enthusiasts are eager to circumvent, or simply admire the collection of specially designed fine writing instruments.
2. If the Passion to the top
Although their own ink pens cache is already available in the past, the first patented ink pen because insurance seller Lewis Waterman in 1884. In her case, the motivation was that close to a major contract after he used a pen ink is spilled on the document. Waterman's efforts to increase the business of a simple hand-made activities are based on a cigar shop in one of the annual turnover of 350,000! Nephew Frank D. Waterman launched the company right after his uncle died in 1901.
3. How does the ink pens Work
Previous attempts to patent their creation before Waterman - including self-filling pen, John Jacob Parker, 1831, quill pen and a metal John Scheffer in 1809 - either do not exist or caused any other problems, which prevented these products are taking off. Since the internal fountain pen ink, it is important for many inventors, and the pen-makers return to the beginning of 19 century, examining the various possible ways to come up with the tank design. Which arose during the self-filling design gave rise to several patents, which contained the Parker Pen Co., Button filler in 1905, Walter Sheaffer's Lever filler 1908 and Weidlich's matchstick filler in 1910.
Another key figure in the development of ink pens is George Safford Parker, who worked as a distributor of John Holland ink pens to supplement his salary to a teacher. His frustration with the quality of pens he sold the students forced to correct them eventually makes him learn to ink pens and was convinced that he could make the quality pens. Now 110-year-old Parker Pen Company has been included in Parker's team-up with the insurance company WE Palmer in February 1892, Parker helped several patents, including the Lucky Curve. This innovation was used capillary attraction that completely drained ink pen feed tube, which prevents the liquid to expand and reach the tip to ensure that the dye stain on the user's hand when the cap is removed.
