Founded in 1888 by George Stafford Parker in Janesville, Wisconsin, the Parker Pen Company was one of the oldest US pen manufacturers. Between the 1920s and 1960s, Parker maintained leadership in worldwide writing instrument sales.
In 1931, Parker created its famous Quink ("quick drying ink"), which led to the development of the most popular fountain pen model under its brand, Park 51.
