George Safford Parker received his first patent for the production of fountain pens in 1889. In 1894, Parker patented his "Lucky Curve" shape and used it in various forms until 1928.
From the 1920s to the 1960s, before the ballpoint pen was established, Parker was a frequent leader in worldwide stationery sales. Parkerr factories were established in Asia, North and South America and Europe.
