” Sailor Fountain Pens “ …. Vintage Advertisement by Artist: Jan Lavies, Netherlands [No Date]
Info: In 1911, founder Kyugoro Sakata was introduced to an English fountain pen by his sailor friend. His enthusiasm for the writing instrument led him to establish the “Sakata-Manufactory” factory to produce fountain pens. In 1948, he introduced the first ballpoint pen to Japan. Sailor obtained the very first patent for cartridge-type fountain pens in 1954. A few years later, the current name of Sailor Pen Co, Ltd was adopted. The now-famous 1911 collection started with the 1911 Profit in 1981 and it has been the best-selling range of Sailor pens ever since.
