The company entered the fountain pens market in the early 1900s (at least since [[1907]], as evidenced by this [[:File:1907-0x-Waverley-FountainPen.jpg|advertisement]] in the ''Strand Magazine''), repurposing a fountain pen with a [[Waverley nib|''Waverley'' nib]], covered by a patent from the same year ({{Cite patent|GB|190708313}}) named  ''"[[Waverley Fountain Pen]]"''. The same advertisement shows that the company is headquartered in London with branches in Glasgow, Edinburgh and Paris.<ref>The company is cited by Lambrou for producing ''[[Waverley]]'' pens, but the name appears to have been used initially only for the models named ''[[Waverley Fountain Pen]]'', because of the eponymous type of nib, and not as a stand-alone brand.</ref>

The company began marketing pens under its own name from about [[1916]], as evidenced by the advertisement on the side, with the invention of a special tweezer filling system (patent {{Cite patent|GB|101241}} of the same year), which were called ''"[[Cameron Safety Self Filler]]"''. These pens were made in different sizes, and, echoing the feature of the earlier ''"[[Waverley Fountain Pen]]"'' were also characterized by the possibility of mounting different [[Tipologia pennini Cameron|special nib]] derived directly from the equivalents popular in the world of dip nibs.

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 of production.
