I'm interested in learning more about the products and business of Aladdin. I came across the company in my research of Inkograph Co. and am nearly certain that Aladdin's President was one of the founders of Inkograph (Joseph and William F. Wallace).

 

According to Industrial directory of New York State By New York (State). Executive Dept. Division of State Planning, New York (State):

“Aladdin Fountain Pen Mfg. Inc. 1820 E. 13th St. Brooklyn 29; Pres. William F. Wallace, Ball and Fountain Pens, mechanical pencils, sewing kit and ball pen combinations

 

From the Merchandise pages of “The Billboard”, Sept. 23, 1950, page 90:

“…Also at $1, Aladdin Fountain Pen Manufacturing has announced a combination sewing kit and ball pen. The ball pen barrel contain s four different threads and two needles.”

 

The New York State, Departement of State, Division of Corporations records document Aladdin being incorporated in early 1948 with dissolution in early 1957.

 

Anyone ever seen an Aladdin pen, with or without sewing kit?

      Thanks for the info (I only used B&W film and learned to process that).   Boy -- the stuff I learn here!  Just continually astounded at the depth and breadth of knowledge in this community! Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth

      >Well, I knew people who were photography majors in college, and I'm pretty sure that at least some of them were doing photos in color,<   I'm sure they were, and my answer assumes that. It just wasn't likely to have been Kodachrome.  It would have been the films I referred to as "other color films." (Kodachrome is not a generic term for color film. It is a specific film that produces transparencies, or slides, by a process not used for any other film. There are other color trans

      @Ceilidh -- Well, I knew people who were photography majors in college, and I'm pretty sure that at least some of them were doing photos in color, not just B&W like I learned to process.  Whether they were doing the processing of the film themselves in one of the darkrooms, or sending their stuff out to be processed commercially?  That I don't actually know, but had always assumed that they were processing their own film.

      Kodachrome 25 was the most accurate film for clinical photography and was used by dermatologists everywhere. I got magnificent results with a Nikon F2 and a MicroNikkor 60 mm lens, using a manually calibrated small flash on a bracket. I wish there were a filter called "Kodachrome 25 color balance" on my iPhone camera.
