I noticed after the duo-fold there was a bill fold. After that there was a jack knife. Lots of conspiracy going on there.

As BeRa explained, the source of the information about the letter is Nishimura's article here.

By the way, accredited web site where we can see other arrow´s Sheaffer that I add to my collection.

And there's this:

Duo Fold...Bill Fold...right in the same ad!!

Is that your whole argument? You do not strain. With millions and millions of previous advertising impacts (at that time SEP 2,2 million circulation) in nationwide and local campaigns every fall for years of Duofold Health Underwear -these are only a few- salesman Parker not create the word "Duofold". There is nothing new under the sun.

... and we still have to wait to 1922 to see the first Parker Duofold ad with certain scope.

A jet just flew over my house. Good thing I live near SFO or I'd be thinking about UFOs.

Wow. So you believe Parker copied "Duofold" from another company making another kind of product.

 

Thank you for finally conceding that it makes sense that Sheaffer could have copied their White Dot from Dunhill. I appreciate that you have totally changed your position on this.

 

This is real progress!

I was hoping we'd get back around to that at some point.

 

My point, which is not refuted by any arguments with respect to Sheaffer's early "Bull's Eye of Perfection" advertising campaign, is that when Sheaffer later adopted the white dot, that was the first time it signified (1) quality and (2) a guarantee. These new associations, I believe, were derived from Dunhill, which had more recently begun using a white dot in exactly the same way on its pipes.

I'm waiting for the connection to blue diamonds and pesos to appear.

What an odd place to keep your Sheaffer.

I think you have discovered the origins of the heated pen pocket found in the FPN Kilts.

Of all the discussion regarding where Sheaffer intended their TUCKAWAY to be "carried" I don't remember this being an option...........

Problem was that in all tests a Tucky just rattled around in that vast cavern.
