The ''John Holland Pen Company'' was one of the first fountain pen manufacturers, beginning production in the second half of 1800. The apex of its success, however, was in this early period of the fountain pen history. At that time the company contributed to fountain pens spread and evolution, particularly in the early '900, when [[Holland]] distinguished itself in the research for new filling systems.

In these early days, the pens produced by [[Holland]] were between the more advanced for quality and features, but the company always worked at the local level, relying on a network of resellers (among which stands out ''George S. Parker'', founder of the far more famous [[Parker]] company). Because of this [[Holland]] remained behind in technological advances compared to its competitors of the same time. Starting from the '20s the company was just following the trends set by its competitors, and faced great difficulties during the great depression of 1929. Since the '30s the quality of its pens decreased gradually, and in 1950, with the death of the son of the founder, [[Holland]] ceased operations. {{Infobox_Brand|Holland}}
