Translations:Mallat/4/en
Mallat is probably one of the oldest manufacturers of writing instruments from around the world, its founding by Jean Benoit Mallat, traces to 1842. In 1852 Jean Benoit Mallat first patented a pen with metal nib and in 1864 patented the Siphoïde, a real ancestor of a fountain pen, and probably the first writing instrument equipped with a reservoir that has been produced and marketed.
