George S Parker began manufacturing fountain pens in the USA in 1889 and in the UK only ten years later. They have produced some of the most succesful, reliable and iconic pens ever seen. The pens are of excellent quality and make great appeal to collectors, investors and, most importantly, to people who simply want to write with them. Parkers have always been renowned for their classical simplicity and reliability and this trait continues to this day. Everybody in the world will, at some point, write with a Parker fountain pen.
