The company, also known as ''WmSon'' was based in Janesville not far from the [[Parker]] plants, and at the end of the 1800 was known for its production of good quality gold nibs, mother of pearl dip pens and hard rubber fountain pens. Even the ties between the ''Williamson Pen Co.'' and [[Parker]], apart from the neighborhood, are not very clear, if not for the fact that ''Edgar E. Nelthorpe'' left [[Williamson]] for the latter in 1900. It seems that some patents have been used jointly by the two companies. | The company, also known as ''WmSon'' was based in Janesville not far from the [[Parker]] plants, and at the end of the 1800 was known for its production of good quality gold nibs, mother of pearl dip pens and hard rubber fountain pens.
