The company pioneered the manufacture of self filling fountain pens and is closely identified with its home of Toledo, Ohio. It started in business about 1897 and ceased production after World War Two. Its most collectible pens include the early “Crescent” filling pens (before 1925), metal pens, the large plastic pens of the 1920s and 1930s, and the “Nozac” piston filling pens of the 1930s. The company was also famous for its mechanical pencils and its fountain pen desk sets which were some of the most elaborate on the market.
