Pen Brands World Wide maybe you can ad to the list

[kivanck]

One brand from Turkey: Scrikss website is http://www.scrikss-pen.com/ Operating since 1963. Prices are at $8 - $25 range.

[Gatorade]

When was the list last updated? I think we would be well over 800 by now.

[TheNobleSavage]

There are some really interesting pens there!! Some look like Pelikan clones!!

Just updated the list - we've got 828, but there are, of course potential duplicates - or close duplicates. I'm trying to be reasonable - the existance of xxx and xxx Pen could go either way, so I kept both. Tombow and TomboW seemed to be duplicates so I only listed one (probably the wrong one... <_< )

 

Here's the updated post.

Wonder if it should be pinned?

Wonder if it should be pinned?

This is an excellent resource and should definitely be pinned!

 

Here's a thought: what if each manufaturer's name was linked to an image of a generic model? Doing that for 8-900 pens is a tall order but even if 15-20% could be found that would probably be an order of magnitude greater than other on-line brand databases.

 

Thoughts/comments?

The only problem the list is mixing pen companies and model names.

For example Shirley Temple is not a pen companie but a Wearever (I think) produced pen.

 

Maybe we need some kind of wikipedia setup for this info, so that we edit and classify appropriately. Do we have someone with experience here?

 

 

FWIW, Shirley Temple, Leeds, Onward & Treasure are all sub brands of Wearever. Tarco & Duvan are possibly sub brands as well. I'm still trying to track down the needed info, but all info to date says they are.

 

Founded in 1896 as David Kahn inc.

Sold to Dixon approx. 1970

Still in production today as a line of cheap "stick bic" style pens.

 

Continuos production for 110 years. How many other co's can claim that?

 

Just my 2 bits worth

[Gerry]

Just added your info Denis. Thanks. When / if you advise re the Tarco & Duvan, I'll remove the question marks.

 

Gerry

 

PS: I have always chuckled over the entry 'Frankenpen'. Do you suppose that there actually was a pen marketed under this name??? I'm pretty dubious - it may just hav been included originally because so many people claimed to have a Frankenpen.

Don't forget to add polish brands from Poland.

The firma K. Wasilewski opened earlier a pen factory in Poland than MontBlanc in germany.

He won some prises at penshows in Europe in the early 30'

 

Polish Brands:

KAWUSKA

KAUSKA ROTOFLEX

Torpedo

Eternum

Omega

KRYWIT

Jubiler

MIS

Krakowiaczek

Mazowia

Z. Ziembicki

INCO

INCO-VERITAS

 

and some more.

 

I found otu, that we have no book or catalogue about writing instruments and I've just begon to write a book about the history of polish writing instruments.

It should be ready on 11th of November 2008 that will be on the jubilee "10 years of the Polish Penlovers &Pencollectors Club"

I can invite you now to come for a penshow to Warsaw next year.

Tom, welcome to FPN.

George Kovalenko (rhr on this board) would be probably happy to find more about polish brands.

I am not sure if you have anything to do with it but there is this web site:

http://www.kem.adn.pl/ in polish - it would be great to have it in english

He pointed this site out few days ago on Pentrace.

 

AZ

[rroossinck]

The Aquila family of brands is missing a few. They produce pens under Bentley, Ducati, Jaguar (already listed), Lalex, Smart, and Tibaldi.

[Johnny Appleseed]

Thanks for all the additions to the list.

 

However, this is an old list on an old thread. Gerry took over the list and has been keeping it up to date here. We should make sure to add any additions in the up-to-date post.

 

John

[Gerry]

Thanks for mentioning that John. Just to ensure that this thread stops - I'll close it to further posts. Hopefully I'll get to updating the DB in the near future...

 

Regards,
