Parker started in 1888 when George Safford Parker applied for his first pen patent, with the philospopy "It will always be possible to make a better pen." The legacy has now continued to grow for over a century, with models like the iconic Jotter pen, Vector for professionals and students, Parker IM for an everyday writing companion, Sonnet for an expression of style, Duofold for an emphasis on excellence, and a variety of others. The Parker range spans across fountain, ballpoint, rollerball, and gel pen types, with refills avaliable to keep your writing activities sophisticated.
