SHEAFFER
Sheaffer’s story began in a small back-room of a jewellery shop in Fort Madison, Iowa, when founder Walter A. Sheaffer invented a new lever-filling fountain pen in 1912. What started as a modest workshop grew into a globally recognized brand, united by one hallmark: the White Dot. Driven by a spirit of innovation, Sheaffer has pushed the boundaries of writing instruments for over a century. Today, Sheaffer continues that legacy with a diverse range of thoughtfully crafted pens that reflect the brand’s commitment to comfort, balance, and performance.
Whether you’re writing your thoughts, or gifting a pen that matters, Sheaffer is more than a tool. It’s a companion made to last.
