Mumbai, 31st July 2013: In 1913,
a gentleman named Walter A. Sheaffer began a company in the backroom of his
jewellery store in Fort Madison, Iowa, USA. He had an idea about “pen-filling
apparatus” that would work on a lever system and wanted to create ‘the pen.’ A
century later, Sheaffer Pens has expanded across the world and continues to
produce some of the most exclusive and innovative pens the world has ever seen.
