Personalized Pens

• In Newhall Street John Mitchell pioneered assemblage production of inspirit pens
• The first fountain pens making account of all these key ingredients appeared in the 1850s
• While a student in Paris, Romanian Petrache Poenaru invented the fountain pen; an invention which the French Government patented in May 1827
• Starting in the 1850s there was a steadily accelerating stream of fountain pen patents and pens in production.

In the 1960s the fibre, or felt-tipped pen was invented by Yukio Horie of the Tokyo Stationery Company, Japan. Papermate's Flair was among the first felt-tip pens to hit the U.S. general store in the 1960s, and it beat been the leader ever since. Marker pens and highlighters, both congruous to felt pens, have Personalized Pens become in-thing in recent years.
