The Sheaffer Pen Company, a timeless symbol of innovation and quality craftsmanship in the world of writing instruments, was established in 1913 in Fort Madison, Iowa, U.S.A. Company founder, Walter A. Sheaffer built this company on the bedrock of an innovative idea, the lever-filling fountain pen. Brought to life in the backroom of his jewelry store, the unique design marked a departure from the conventional fountain pens of the time, and laid the foundation for Sheaffer's unyielding commitment to quality, design, and creativity. Each Sheaffer pen tells a story of artistry and precision, reflecting an uncompromising commitment to excellence. In 1924, Sheaffer pens introduced the iconic White Dot, which quickly became a symbol of their quality.
