The company's origins date back to the activity of Nisbet MacNiven that in [[1770]] founded a factory in Balerno, near Edinburgh, the city where activities on stationery production were transferred in [[1788]]. In [[1840]] John and Donald Cameron joined the company that became the ''MacNiven & Cameron Ltd.'' ''Duncan Cameron'' is credited with the design of the ''Waverley'' nib produced by ''[[Gillot Steel Pens]]'' since [[1864]] and roughly until the mid-70s of the 19th century. The company acquired a factory in Birmingham in [[1900]] and continued to produce nibs working in the stationery products market up to the closure of the factory in [[1964]].

The company entered the fountain pens market in the 10s (at least since [[1916]], as evidenced by the advertising in the figure, and a patent, {{Cite patent|US|940509}}, is from [[1908]]); it was also active in the French market. The cited advertising suggests the presence of a main office in London with branches in Glasgow, Edinburgh and Paris.<ref>The company is also cited by Lambrou for the production of ''[[Waverley]]'' pens, that name, however, seems to has been used only for some model named [[Waverley Fountain Pen]] and not as an indipendent brand.</ref> Another model name known (present in [http://www.prints-online.com/pictures_1738755/cameron-pens-advertisement.html another flyer]) is ''Guinea Pen'', instead between the brand photos there is a lever filler model called ''"Cameron N.4"''.

L'azienda iniziò a commercializzare penne con il proprio nome a partire all'incirca dal [[1916]], come testimoniato dalla pubblicità a fianco, con l'invenzione di un particolare sistema di caricamento a pinzetta (brevetto {{Cite patent|GB|101241}} dello stesso anno), che vennero chiamate ''"[[Cameron Safety Self Filler]]"''. Queste penne vennero realizzate in diverse dimensioni, e, riprendendo la caratteristica delle precedenti ''"[[Waverley Fountain Pen]]"'' erano anche caratterizzate dalla possibilità di montarci diverse [[Tipologia pennini Cameron|varianti di pennini speciali]] derivati direttamente dagli equivalenti diffusi nel mondo dei pennini da intinzione.

The same pens were distributed in France at the end of World War I from ''Kirbie, Bird C.'' based in Rue Auber, 5 in Paris, with the name ''SAR Cameron'' (where however SAR is nothing more than an acronym for ''Safety Auto Remplissage''). The company apparently remained active until [[1964]], even if someone is reporting an earlier end to production.
