Newel owns a lot of companies. That link shows the total revenue of the conglomerate. Doesn't really give any insight into Parker.

 

Here is the link I referenced that show Parker's revenue.

"Fancy coloring instruments?" "Highlighters, markers and other coloring instruments?" "Fancy coloring instruments?"

 

In my reading of this study, it is generic, with less research and hard information than appears at first glance, with little or no application to fountain pens.

That's why the article is called: "Writing Instruments Market Size"

Fountain pen would fall under the umbrella of writing instruments.

Thanks for this mr T. Data on the big guns like BIC give a good reference point for comparison on how big Pilot, Montblanc, Pelikan, etc are in the industry. Quite impressed with Pilot, Montblanc, Faber Castell, Pelikan, Lamy, Montegrappa, and Cross.

 

It's great to see Cross, one of the big great American writing instrument companies still doing significant revenue and relevant in the market. Not sure where Waterman fits in as was not able to find any info on Waterman's revenue. Hopefully it is doing better than Parker.

That article you posted with $62M revenue for Parker also shows James R Peterson as the CEO of Parker. He resigned in 1985 as per this archive report.

https://www.nytimes.com/1985/01/31/business/business-people-chief-of-parker-pen-submits-resignation.html

 

The data seems to be quite outdated. From 1985.

Oh wow, sorry about that. I am skeptical of the 7 million figure you posted as well. It might be difficult to ever know how to extract Parker sales from the parent company, but I've just performed a few attempts.

Well I hope my $7M figure is off too and Parker is doing much better. I'd rather see them flourish as well. At the website, Parkerpens.com they still offer all the range of pens from the Vector and Jotters right up to the Duofold which is a good sign.

 

Last year when I was at the Sheaffer website there was no Legacy Heritage, and the Prelude was the top model with only two different black finish options, which looked sad, in favor of the POP, VFM and all the low end pens. But now the Legacy is back in a number of different finishes, as well in the Prelude, 300 and Intensity. A good sign. Hopefully with Cross financial backing, Sheaffer can come back and stand on it's own. If the Prelude and Legacy Heritage I have are an indication of the quality of their pens, they should have no problem doing so on the merit of their products.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
