The history of Williamson originates from Riccardo Amisani's acquisition of Ditta Motta, a well-established stationery shop at 42 Via Roma in Turin, in the early 1910s.[1]It is unclear when production of the first pens, some good quality safety, actually began, but they were quite successful. The pens were branded "Williamson Fountain Pen," with the logo of a flower in a circle, and the mention of a patent, No. 4497, dated 1912-01-21, a date curiously similar to that of Amisani's registration of the Williamson trademark except for the inversion of the last two digits of the year.[2] At this early stage safety and later lever filler, inspired by similar American models, were marketed; at a later stage, celluloid flat tops models clearly inspired by the Duofold were produced.
- ↑ At least since 1915, which we will take as the founding date, as seen in this advertisement in which it appears as Waterman agent for Turin and Piedmont.
- ↑ The production of safeties and the use of this logo are further confirmation of the lack of relationship with the Williamson Pen Co. , of which no safety is known in the USA, and which never used this logo.
