E. Cobham Brewer 1810-1897. Dictionary of Phrase and Fable. 1898.

"Acme": The crisis of a disease. Old medical writers used to divide the progress of a disease into four periods: the arche, or beginning; the anabasis, or increase, the acme, or term of its utmost violence, and the paracme, or decline. Figuratively, the highest point of anything

Acme: n.
[from Greek "akme" highest point of perfection or achievement] The canonical supplier of bizarre, elaborate, and non-functional gadgetry — where Rube Goldberg and Heath Robinson (two cartoonists who specialized in elaborate contraptions) shop. The name has been humorously expanded as "A (or American) Company Making Everything". (In fact, "Acme" was a real brand sold from Sears Roebuck catalogs in the early 1900s.) Describing some X as an “Acme X” either means “This is insanely great”, or, more likely, “This looks insanely great on paper, but in practice it's really easy to shoot yourself in the foot with it.” Compare pistol.

This term, specially cherished by American hackers and explained here for the benefit of our overseas brethren, comes from the Warner Brothers' series of “Road-runner” cartoons. In these cartoons, the famished Wile E. Coyote was forever attempting to catch up with, trap, and eat the Road-runner. His attempts usually involved one or more high-technology Rube Goldberg devices — rocket jetpacks, catapults, magnetic traps, high-powered slingshots, etc. These were usually delivered in large wooden crates labeled prominently with the Acme name — which, probably not by coincidence, was the trade name of a peg bar system for superimposing animation cels used by cartoonists since forever. Acme devices invariably malfunctioned in improbable and violent ways.

"acme seal": The now obsolete name given a SEALSKIN (dt. "Seehundsfell"), dyed and having a plain, dull finish and a natural grain.

"acme" (n.): "highest point", 1560s, from Greek "akme" "(highest) point", "edge", "peak of anything", from PIE root "*ak-" "sharp" (see "acrid"). Written in Greek letters until c.1620. The U.S. grocery store chain was founded 1891 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Anonymous meint:

Das Wort "ACME" tauchte das erste Mal als Phantasiename einer Firma in frühen amerkanischen Wirtschaftslehrbüchern auf. Er war wahrscheinlich abgeleitet vom Namen der griechischen Nymphe "Acme", deren Name für "Perfektion" steht. [...] Interessanterweise wurde ACME auch zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts sogar kurz für echte Produkte eingesetzt, lustigerweise sogar für Ambosse. Aber auch hier ist anzumerken, dass der Bezug dabei wahrscheinlich zur griechischen Mythologie zu sehen ist.

From the Greek acme, meaning the 'best age of man', Acmeism was a movement in Russian poetry that formed in the early twentieth century as a reaction to the excesses of symbolism. It was characterised by a clarity and directness of image. Prominent Acmeists included Anna Ahkmatova and Osip Mandelstam.

En français, Le mot acmé désigne le point extrême d'une tension, d'un propos ou d'une situation. Ce mot fait aussi partie du vocabulaire technique du théâtre. Provenant du grec ancien, il s’applique essentiellement aux tragédies grecques ou d’inspiration gréco-latine. Il correspond au paroxysme du mal dont un personnage est atteint, et s’accompagne souvent du registre pathétique (qui évoque la douleur) ou dramatique.

"ACME" (englisch "acme" "Gipfel", "Höhepunkt"; von griechisch "akme" "Höhepunkt") wird im englischen Sprachraum gern als fiktiver Name für ein Unternehmen verwendet.

Der Begriff wurde mit den Zeichentrickfilmen der Warner Bros. und Disney, insbesondere der Road-Runner-Reihe, bekannt und steht für ein fiktives Unternehmen. Um nicht mit dem US-amerikanischen Markenrecht in Konflikt zu kommen, haben die Zeichner ein Unternehmen erfunden, das alle Gegenstände produziert, welche in den Filmen benötigt werden. Von alltäglichen Dingen wie Kleidung und Zahnpasta bis hin zu ausgefallenen Sachen wie Taschenraketen und Laserkanonen gibt es nichts, was ACME nicht herstellt. Es gibt Andeutungen in verschiedenen Warner-Bros.-Zeichentrickserien, dass "Acme" vom Road Runner betrieben wird (z. B. in Road Runner: To Beep or not to Beep, Freeze Frame; Tiny Toon in einem Gerichtsverfahren). Erst später interpretierte man das Wort "ACME" als Backronym für "A Company that Manufactures/Makes Everything" ("Ein Unternehmen, das alles herstellt") oder auch "American Company that Manufactures/Makes Everything".

Es gab und gibt jedoch mehrere wirkliche Unternehmen, die als "ACME" firmieren.

Eventually, so many companies tried this trick that "Acme" in a corporate name came to be regarded as a bit of a joke and was replaced by more dignified names, such as "Burger King" and "Toys R Us".

Cross - Stifte

...
Since "Richard Cross" made the first Cross product in 1846, we have re-invented the writing instrument category, combining design ingenuity with jewelry-quality craftsmanship. We were America's first manufacturer of quality writing instruments, and that means that we've been making pens people use, depend on and enjoy for a long time.
...

For those who value individuality and impeccable style, "Townsend" embodies classic American elegance and finesse. Inspired by the graceful lines of 1930’s Art Deco design, with distinctive finishes, precious metals and the signature double band, "Townsend" delivers a lifetime of smooth, effortless writing. No wonder it’s the pen of choice for several American Presidents.

Hochwertige Schreibgeräte sind nur eine Produktlinie des amerikanischen Herstellers A.T.Cross. Die Wurzeln des Unternehmens liegen im Juweliergeschäft.

A.T.Cross wurde im Jahre 1846 gegründet. Zu Beginn fertigte man elegante Hülsen aus Gold und Silber für Holzbleistifte. Seit 1858 ist der Firmensitz von A.T.Cross in Providence, Rhode Island.

Mit über 21 Patenten brachte A.T.Cross viele innovative Produkte auf den Markt, darunter den ersten Ganz aus Metall gefertigten Bleistift.

A.T. Cross is America's oldest manufacturer of writing instruments. Established in Rhode Island in 1846 by Richard Cross and Edward W Bradbury, they originally created gold and silver casings for wooden pencils. Their first fountain pen appeared in 1889 and they called it the 'Peerless' because there were no peers to match it; it rapidly became an American classic. In 1953 they produced their first ballpoint pen, after eight years of perfecting the existing technology. They have since turned out a host of classic designs, many of which have remained in their catalogue for decades - testament to their timeless popularity and their confidence in being able to offer a lifetime guarantee against mechanical failure. The Cross Townsend - first developed in the early 1990s - has become known as the 'Pen of U.S. Presidents', whilst our own Queen is reputed to use a Cross Century. You can't get much better recommendation than that!

...
While our history is a story all its own, it all began with "Richard Cross", who founded the company the same year both the Smithsonian and the sewing machine were born, just as Samuel Morse’s magnetic telegraph pushed Westward and America braced for a war with Mexico. Cross was a highly skilled pen and pencil maker, who passed his knowledge on to his son, "Alonzo Townsend Cross". In 1916, the Cross family sold the company to an employee, Walter R. Boss, who led our growth into the company you know today. Today, Walter's grandsons are at the helm of the company, which became a public security traded on the American Stock Exchange in 1971.

The company, one of the oldest in the United States. Commonly stated as starting in 1846, that date is actually the birth date of "Alonzo Townsend Cross". The company was founded by "Richard Cross" and "Edward Bradbury" whom both came from England and at some point in the 1830's they were making jewerly and pencils..

The "A.T." stands for "Alonzo Townsend". Cross and he registered over 20 US patents in 1873 marking read advances in pens and pencils. For example it was A.T. Cross that held the patent on the propel-repel mechanical pencil which was the forerunner the mechanical pencils used today. In addition, Cross's "Stylographic" pen is considered to be the precursor of to-day's ball-point pen.

Über A.-T. Cross

Die älteste Schreibgerätemanufaktur der USA wurde 1846 in Providence, Rhode Island gegründet. Hergestellt wurden in den Anfangsjahren goldene und silberne Bleistifthülsen. Schon bald aber erweiterten zahlreiche neue Patente, u.a. für einen Drehbleistift und einen kugelschreiberähnlichen Tintenschreiber, das Portfolio. Die Firma nahm schnell Fahrt auf. Heute ist das börsennotierte Unternehmen weltweit präsent mit hochwertigen Füllfederhaltern, Kugelschreibern und innovativen Multifunktionsstiften. Schreibtischsets und Lederwaren runden die Produktpalette ab.

Vom Tintenschreiber zum Kugelschreiber der Extraklasse - Schreibgeräte von A.-T. Cross.

Lange Zeit konzentrierte sich das US-amerikanische Unternehmen Cross auf Druckbleistifte, Kugelschreiber und Rollerballs. Füllfederhalter wurden ab 1930 zunächst nur für den lokalen Markt produziert. Seit Anfang der 1980er-Jahre aber werden Cross-Füller auch exportiert. Die Bandbreite der verschiedenen Kugelschreiber- und Füllermodelle ist beeindruckend groß und vielfältig. Charakteristisch ist die schmale und zurückhaltende Formgebung, legendär sind auch die Gold- und Silbermodelle.

Esterbrook

Esterbrook pens are one of the century's best design feats. They're well-built but inexpensive, and they last better than most pens. They almost define the term "under-appreciated". The mother-of-pearl look in a variety of colors is really pretty. The pens write well, and if you don't like a nib but you love the look of the pen, the nibs are interchangeable (Renew Points). Almost all are steel, but there are gradations. The 9xxx series with their "Durium" tip is the best. I have quite a few Renew Point Nibs if the choice you want isn't on the pen, including some stub nibs. Most of these Esterbrooks were made between the late '40s and late 1950s.

Classic pen brand brought back from the dead

Devin Loring, Asbury Park (N.J.) Press Published 4:51 p.m. ET Feb. 5, 2015 | Updated 4:51 p.m. ET Feb. 5, 2015

Robert Rosenberg acknowledges that penmanship is a dying art, but he's attempting to bring it back with the revival of the "Esterbrook" pen brand.

"We feel a tremendous responsibility, we're restoring this brand to what it once was," said Rosenberg, a West Long Branch resident. "It was a leading iconic brand in this country. They really wrote American history."

Literally. The number of famous Americans that have been documented using Esterbrook pens range from Charles Schulz, who drew the "Peanuts" comic strip, to Presidents John F. Kennedy, Harry S. Truman and Dwight D. Eisenhower.

"On display in the Smithsonian Institute, 101 things that made America, is an Esterbrook pen," Rosenberg said.

According to Rosenberg, the Esterbrook brand was established in 1858 as the Esterbrook Steel Pen Manufacturing Co. in Camden. In 1912, a five-story building was added to the factory, doubling its size. In 1964, operations relocated to Cherry Hill. Rosenberg said the Esterbrook brand was the fifth issued trademark in the United States.

A Brief History of the Fountain Pen

The story of the fountain pen could not be told without a few words about its predecessor, the dip pen. Dip pens were used by the scribes of the Egyptian kings over 4000 years ago. Scribes used a sharp stick or goose quill shaved to a point and dipped in berry juice to keep inventory of write a letter. An improvement on the quill was not made until the late 1700s with the introduction of the metal pen point in a plain or fancy holder. Reliable fountain pens were not perfected until the 1880s.

The Dream Fountain Pen

Den "Kugelschreiber", einen eine Farbmine enthaltenden Schreibstift, bei dem eine kleine rollende Kugel in der Minenspitze die Farbmasse auf das Schreibpapier überträgt, erfanden 1938 die ungarischen Brüder Laszlo und Georg Biró nach 18jähriger Entwicklungsarbeit in Budapest. Nach Erlangung des ungarischen Patents (1938) und Patentanmeldung des "Fountain Pen for Pulping Ink" in den USA am 27. 12. 1938 (US-Patent erteilt am 14. 10. 1941 für den nun "Ball Pen" genannten Schreibstift) fanden die Birós zur Auswertung ihrer Erfindung in dem Engländer Henry G. Martin einen Finanzier. Martin eröffnete (zusammen mit Frederick Miles) 1944 bei Reading (Berkshire) die erste Kugelschreiberfabrik der Welt, in welcher im ersten Jahr 30 000 für die Royal Air Force bestimmte Kugelschreiber hergestellt wurden.

I’ve always been a fountain pen user; for a time I was also a collector. A couple of years ago, I became a full-time restorer, mainly so that I could see and handle more pens. The pens are the ultimate documents of our hobby. There are no better learning tools than the pens themselves.

Loiminchay - Stifte (W3)

Over the years of my collecting of writing instruments, I have stored up many treasures. From time to time, I would examine them, admire them, and play with them like a child playingwith toys. Until the year of 1999 or so, I have decided to make my own pens and named the company, "Loiminchay".

Once the decision was made, I searched back to my roots, 5000 years of Chinese arts and culture. Dragon and jade come in the picture, and of course, the Chinese porcelain vases as well.

"Loimin-" "delightful", "understanding"
"Chay-" "artelier", "group"

Patrick Chu, Founder

Since 1999, Patrick Chu, founder of "Loiminchay pens" has sought to infuse his writing instruments with the ancient Chinese tradition of creating meticulously handcrafted works of art. As a rising leader in the world of premium writing instruments, Loiminchay pens honor the 5000-year-old Chinese tradition of utilizing Jade and porcelain in the construction of delicate works of art which are truly one one-of-a-kind. Due to its esteemed reputation and craftsmanship, Loiminchay was selected to be the designer of the official pen collections of the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

Handwriting in America: A Cultural History

Book review, by Dyas A. Lawson

Parker - Stifte

...
1894 ließ er den "Lucky Curve" Füllhalter patentieren. Dieser Parker Füllhalter hatte einen kontrollierten Tintenfluss, der endlich das Auslaufen und "blaue Finger" beim Schreiben verhinderte.

Der Parker "Lucky Curve" wurde zum meistverkauften Füllhalter in den USA.

Viele weitere Meilensteine in der Schreibgeräte-Geschichte wurden von Parker produziert. So der "Parker Duofold" und der bis heute legendäre "Parker 51" aus dem Jahr 1941.

In den 20er-Jahren begann die Vermarktung des Parker Duofolds in Europa und 1924 wurde eine Vertriebsstelle in London gegründet. Das abgebildete Senior-Modell wurde Mitte der 40er-Jahre in England hergestellt und ist auch im Lambrou-Buch auf Seite 191 zu sehen.(db)

Der Parker 51 wurde 1941 als Vacumatic (ab 1948 als Aerometric Schlauchfüller) eingeführt und gilt mit all seinen Varianten als meistverkaufter Füllhalter der Welt.(tj)

"Parker" is probably the most famous pen brand on the planet. The "Parker Jotter" in particular is one of the most recognisable writing instruments there is, and "Parker Quink" is virtually synonymous with ink. Sadly, Parker no longer make pens in the UK.

Parker

"C. Josef Lamy" (1900-1986) established the company, in 1930, as Orthos with a factory in Heidelberg, Germany. He started big, with one employee! He brought his knowledge of the pen industry from his job as export manager with Parker. The first two models of pen produced followed the style of the Parker Duofold. By 1933 the company patented its design of a fountain pen and pencil.

George Safford Parker sold pens for the John Holland Pens Company as a means of supplementing his teaching salary. When the pens broke, he would fix them. From repairs he moved on to making his own pens in 1889. He is noted for saying if he " ... made a better pen, people would buy it". He found an investor and, true to an American success, with the $1,000 investment, the company was born and Parker as been a pen company of recognition ever since.

Acknowledgements

The Parker Pen Company was founded in Janesville, Wisconsin in 1888 by George Safford Parker with the dream of “making a better pen.” Before the company’s conception, George Parker had worked as a pen salesman for the John Holland Gold Pen Company. During his ventures, he saw a startling amount of discontent among pen collectors concerning the leakage of fountain pens. After Parker was founded, he created a special system to combat this problem. In 1894, Parker developed the “Lucky Curve”.

Parker is one of the big three American pen makers of the 20th Century, and we break their products down into over a dozen sub-categories. Starting with the Duofolds and Lucky Curve pens and continuing thru to the modern Duofolds, you'll find a varied and frequently changing selection of Parker pens and pencils. Especially popular are the Parker 51s, and we will endeavor to offer hard to find versions as well as the ubiquitious black vac, all fully functioning and guaranteed. We also have a unique variety of new old stock.

Parker and Waterman are old American pen companies that migrated to Europe for business reasons. Both are currently owned by Newell Brands. Both have made wonderful pens through the century. I'm particularly fond of Parker Vacumatics and Duofold Juniors. English Parkers are also wonderful writers, often with flexible nibs.

Die Parker Pen Company, kurz Parker, ist ein US-amerikanisches Unternehmen und wurde 1888 gegründet. Kugelschreiber und Füllfederhalter mit zeitlosem Design und subtiler Eleganz stehen im Mittelpunkt der Produktion und sind seit 1933 mit dem traditionellen Feder-Pfeilclip ausgestattet. Im Fokus von "George Safford Parker", dem Begründer der Marke Parker, stand stets die Kombination aus Perfektion und dem Vorsprung durch Innovation, so dass sich die Schreibgeräte seit mehr als 120 Jahren durch unvergleichliche Qualität und überragende Handwerkskunst auszeichnen.

Über Parker

1888 gründete George Safford Parker im US-amerikanischen Janesville, Wisconsin die Parker Pen Company. Bereits ein Jahr später brachte er seinen ersten, selbstkonstruierten Füller auf den Markt. Sein Erfindungsreichtum kannte kaum Grenzen und zahlreiche Patente sicherten den Erfolg: Die erste Steckkappe verdanken wir Parker ebenso wie vereinfachte Füllsysteme. Der legendäre Duo Fold-Füller von 1921, der als „perfekt und vollendet“ gerühmte Parker 51 aus dem Jahr 1939, der seit 1951 millionenfach verkaufte Kugelschreiber Jotter sowie der neue Sonnet – Parkers Füllfederhalter und Kugelschreiber mit dem berühmten Feder-Pfeilclip sind allgegenwärtig und höchst erfolgreich.

Parker stuff

George Parker, founder of the Parker brand, always drove his company’s success through the use of innovation. As he famously put it: “It will always be possible to make a better pen”. Over the years, Parker has been recognized as an innovator, continuing this tradition of innovation with its designs, pen constructions, materials and shapes.

Everything's been written about Parkers, well not quite, but a lot, and I don't need to write much more about this maker. They are one of the "Big Four" of American pendom. If you have questions, links will be coming soon and always feel free to contact me.

Targa by Sheaffer (W3)

SHEAFFER TARGA 1976 to 1999- A BRIEF HISTORY

First produced in 1976 the "Targa by Sheaffer" owes its name to the "Targa Florio", an open road endurance race held near Palermo Sicily. Founded in 1906 it was one of the oldest sports car racing events until it was stopped in 1977, it is now run as a rallying event.

"Genesis" was the name originally chosen for the model but just before the launch it was changed to "Targa". This changed happened because it was pointed out that sales in the middle east could be compromised with the name "Genesis".

The targa fitted with the iconic inlaid nib has been sold in over 70 different finishes, a total of around 120 fountain pens in classic and slimline. The classic fountain pen was the first size made in 1976, with trends in the early eighties leaning towards a sleeker look the slim model was introduced in 1982.

Our aim is to help identify your Targa pen.

The pen search button has two links: a reference list and a finishes list. The reference list shows all pens that were designated a model number while the finishes link shows all the pens on the reference list plus others that were never given model numbers. Perhaps in the future model numbers can be found to correlate with the unnumbered pens.

The prototypes are pens that never made it into full production. Many fellow collectors have kindly sent me pictures of their unusual Targa pens. If you have something that doesn't appear on this site, your contributions would be appreciated.

Thank you for visiting my site.

A couple of hundred thousand of you have bought my first book on Fountain Pens in the half dozen languages in which it has been published over five continents: Many collectors have approached me at shows and said that you really liked it; it provided you your initial introduction into the field; it taught you all you needed to know; you wouldn't dream of going to a flea market without it; It was the most useful book for assisting with negotiation on pens when you were dealing with totally un-knowledgeable antique dealers etc

Which is gratifying. I really appreciate the kind comments and tried to provide a proper introduction to the field in a form which you would all like. Even if it was insidiously designed to HOOK the innocent reader into unwittingly becoming a collector

Notes V: Wearever Pens March 20th, 2012

David Kahn Inc. in Bergen, NJ., was the world’s largest manufacturer of pens for many years, up until probably the mid-1950s or early 1960s. His brands, including “Supreme”, “Wear-ever”, Wearever”, “Treasure” and “Pioneer” (plus others) had two characteristics: First, they were made to sell for a fraction of better known and better made pens. Second, the styles looked like other models of other pen makers.

Wearever Gallery
by Jim Mamoulides 1/2/02 - Updated 7/24/04

Wearever: the Greatest Name in Fountain Pens! Well, actually, far from it. Wearever always worked on quantity versus quality, and frankly, for the most part, their pens show it. In the 1950s, Wearever called themselves the "World's Largest Fountain Pen Manufacturer." Doubtless quantity ruled somewhat over quality. Wearever was the king of the low rent district, making all sorts of cheap pens in all flavors and colors for the public to consume.

Wahl Eversharp Pencils

Wahl-Eversharp

One of the grand pen companies of the Twentieth Century, Wahl Eversharp pens are notable for adventurous design elements, often wonderful flex nibs, and unstable celluloid that shrinks and turns to dust. Condition matters! The best Wahls are a delight, and these are restored and in good working condition.

...
The Eversharp pencil was the brainchild of Charles R. Keeran, a native of Bloomington, Illinois and an inveterate inventor and entrepreneur. Nowadays collectors take these seemingly ubiquitous all-metal pencils for granted, yet the original Eversharp was truly a groundbreaking innovation. The first mass-produced mechanical pencil to combine a simple propelling mechanism with large lead capacity and robust, ergonomically sound design, the Eversharp met with enthusiastic public acceptance. In the space of a few years millions were sold, not counting the numerous imitations which soon appeared, virtually all using the .046" (1.2 mm) lead that the Eversharp had established as a new standard.

It was the Eversharp that redefined the mechanical pencil as a mass-market product, to the extent that "eversharp" came to be widely used as a generic term for a mechanical pencil.

HISTORY OF THE BRAND

The name "WAHL-EVERSHARP" is a proud one in the history of writing instruments.

"EVERSHARP", the inventor and first successful mass marketer of the mechanical pencil, goes back to 1915.

"WAHL" was the brand name given to some of the finest fountain pens ever made and goes back to 1917.

The hyphenated name "WAHL-EVERSHARP" first appeared on some of the finest “golden era” fountain pens in 1929.

The Deco Band, the Doric and the Skyline fountain pens of the 1920’s, 1930’s and 1940’s were among the most successful fountain pens and mechanical pencils ever made.
...
Parker sold the Eversharp company to a successor who in turn sold it to another, where it existed virtually in name only for almost 50 years until being revived by the owners of the Wahl-Eversharp Company who today bring you the pens contained in this website.

...
Beginning in 2004, attempts began to secure the production capabilities necessary to manufacture the line of pens presented today by The WAHL-EVERSHARP Company. Working independently at first, Emmanuel Caltagirone in Italy and Syd Saperstein in the United States, began to lay the plans for a revival of WAHL-EVERSHARP’s “Greatest Hits.” In 2012 their efforts were rewarded by a combined effort that utilizes Mr. Catagirone’s vast manufacturing capabilities and Mr. Saperstein’s expertise in the history of the brand, marketing and distribution.
