Behind the Sheaffer name lies
almost 100 years of dedication to producing world class fine
writing instruments. In 1907, in Fort Madison, Iowa,
Walter A. Sheaffer revolutionised the world of pen and ink with
the invention of the ingenious lever-fill fountain pen.
Replacing the messy filling systems of the day,
Sheaffer's unique slim metal lever made it possible to fill
straight from the ink bottle in one clean, easy step.
The new system was patented and, in 1912,
Walter Sheaffer staked his life savings to go into the writing
instrument business.
In 1913, the W. A. Sheaffer Pen Company was
incorporated and Mr. Sheaffer furthered his quest to deliver
the unique writing experience.
Many further inventions resulted, such as the
Touchdown filling system in 1949 and the inlaid nib in 1959.
Soon the company established its unrivalled reputation
for producing "classic" designs, the finest finishes and
highly-sought after special editions.
Intensive training and many years of
experience have perfected the skills of the Sheaffer craftsmen
who today still produce an unrivalled range of innovative pens
to suit every taste and preference. From handcrafted
Lacqué finishes to modern and classic styles.
