[[Williamson]], or more precisely ''Williamson-Torino'' is one of the companies born in the district of [[Settimo Torinese]] among the most interesting, both for its history than for its production. In fact the story originated from the ''Williamson Pen Co.'', an American company that seems to have been active in the production of nibs from the end of 1800. Although the origins of this company is uncertain, it is certain that ''Edgar E. Nelthorpe'' and ''George H. Williamson'' are the co-holders of a 1899 patent ({{FPO Patent|632320}}) for a pen is very similar to the  [[Parker]] [[Jointless]] and we use this date as reference for the company birth. First pens were equipped by a nib marked by inventors names:  ''"N & W"''.

L'azienda, nota anche come ''WmSon'', aveva sede a Janesville non lontano dagli stabilimenti della [[Parker]], ed alla fine dell'800 era nota per la sua produzione di pennini d'oro, cannucce in madreperla e di stilografiche in ebanite di buona qualità. Anche i legami fra la ''Williamson Pen Co.'' e la [[Parker]], a parte la vicinanza, non sono molto chiari, se non per il fatto che ''Edgar E. Nelthorpe'' lasciò la ''Williamson Pen Co.'' per quest'ultima intorno al 1900. Pare inoltre che alcuni brevetti siano stati usati congiuntamente dalle due aziende.  

The company, also known as ''WmSon'' was based in Janesville not far from the [[Parker]] plants, and at the end of the 1800 was known for its production of good quality gold nibs, mother of pearl dip pens and hard rubber fountain pens. Even the ties between the ''Williamson Pen Co.'' and [[Parker]], apart from the neighborhood, are not very clear, if not for the fact that ''Edgar E. Nelthorpe'' left [[Williamson]] for the latter in 1900. It seems that some patents have been used jointly by the two companies.
