Hello,

 

While searching through the web I found the publication titled "Trademarks of the jewelery and kindred trades", published in 1922. Here is few pages on fountain pens that I (at least) found very, very interesting. What caught my eyes is a sign used by Salz Bros and which looked like Penkala pens trade mark ... also there is a small mistake according John Holland brands: FountOgraph instead Fountagraph. 

Enjoy!

this is great, thank you for posting the pictures!

[Jon Veley]

Yes this is an interesting piece -- it's one of 718 reference documents maintained at the Pen Collectors of America's online library.

I didn't find it through PCA Library, through on-line archive hathitrust.org

I saw that - thanks for pointing that out!   Since the trademarks are not specific to any particular brand name, it is found in the "Other" section at the end.  

[memopens]

Sorry, Jon, I'm a little confused. How can a trademark not be connected to a brand?

 

Also, I'm not sure what "end" you're referring to - at the end of PCA's library? Or generally at the end of such libraries? I don't mean to be difficult; I just don't understand.

[Jon Veley]

No worries.  Once you enter the PCA's library, there are various categories - Big Four first, then the names are grouped alphabetically.  Since the trademark section of the book includes a whole variety of different makers, it's in that last batch marked "Other - Including Online Library Update Summary."

Ahh ... now I get it! Thank you very much, Jon!

Note that the same 700+ public domain documents will be made available essentially free (cost of the disk and shipping) by me, very shortly.

 

I was inspired to do this by Jon Veley.  A legacy of sorts.

I'd be interested in a copy of that disc. Will you ship internationally?

[david i]

Hi Paolino. Yes, but international shipping alone bumps the cost a bit.

 

I've had the files ready for months. Just need to get the copies done.

Great. Count me in, and thanks.

[memopens]

I'm also interested, David. Put me on the list, too, please

[Jon Veley]

The PCA decided last November to move these documents into the publicly available area of the website - I'm not on the website team, but I'll ask about that.

[david i]

Good to see I'm still forcing the PCA to do the right  thing, Mr. Veley's documented bleats on the subject aside.  "Decided" is such a cute word.  My format of course allows quicker access.  Perhaps the PCA can offer DVD's at cost. Then I won't have to. 

 

See some history at this link. several pages. It started soooo casually....

I have a 4 page Chilton pamphlet that I don't think was ever seen by anyone before, that I need to scan and make available. 

 

I just got it recently. 

 

It was in the original 1937 Chilton catalog I got recently. 

[david i]

Think I have a copy of the catalog, but not the pamphlet.

Isn't it strange that in 1922 "Lucky Curve" was marked as "discontinued"?

Thanks for that link!  Hopefully another on-line resource for antique office equipment & esoterica such as mantle lamps... All kinds of fun stuff!
