As the son of an Argentine, it would be interesting to know when the South American onus shifted from Argentina to Brazil re both manufacturing and market.

 

I know that Parker had a factory in Argentina in the 1950s; anyone else?

Too many pens; too little writing.

Sure. It lasted from 1959 to the eighties.

Parker had BOTH factories (Brazil and Argentina) simultaneously.

 

Sheaffer too... The south american Sheaffer operation was called ILASA.

It's interesting that Argentina has been mentioned in this thread because László József Bíró (the inventor of the modern Biro pen) set up a company in Argentina to mass-produce his patented ballpoint pens many decades ago. Something must have encouraged him to go to that country and manufacture his pens.

Argentina had a golden period from 1930 to 1960. Several foreign companies established operations in Argentina because its money health. They falled after 1960 after several dictator military governments. In 1982, they declared war against Great Britain by the Falkland Islands. After that, they never succeed to raise up again...

I can accept your statement if you prefix it with "I think that".

Compactor was founded by Buschle in Wuppertal/ Germany

Exactly, but the Buschle family emigrates to Brazil in 1953. Today they don't make fountain pens. They are comercial partners of the german brand Schneider.

 

Compactor Solo is the name of the Schneider model they sell. Look at http://www.compactor.com.br/produto_detalhe/solo

Just received in the post a Pilot 77 marked IND. BRASELEIRA. The tip of the lever on the filler actuator is broken off so it looks like it's going to be a bulb filler when I've replaced the sac, but I think it's going to be a nice pen to use.

Sheaffer Imperial 500

Brazilian made and designed... There are NO american Imperials with triumph nibs all gold plated. There are ONE american model, but it is C/C filled. Brazilian Imperial 500 is all gold plated and touchdown filled...

Very nice models Eduardo.

 

Tell me, is it possible to know, more or less, the price of the Sheaffer Imperial 500, in Brasil?

 

 

I bought on an auction site here... A set, composed by FP and BP. I paid R$ 100.00 (brazilian real), approx US$ 40.00...

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
