About this book
The Story of the Invention of Steel Pens, with a description of the manufacturing process by which they are produced, is by Henry Bore. The text says the inquirer after knowledge would scarcely find a dozen persons who could give any definite information as to when, where, and by whom this invention was made. The text says that, according to Father Montfaucon, the patriarchs of Constantinople, under the Greek Empire, were accustomed to sign their allocutions with tubular pens of silver.
The text says Mason gave the year 1828 as the date when he commenced making pens, so that the evidence is in favor of Mitchell. The text says the manufacture of steel pens employs in all about 900 workpeople, and that the weekly production is 45,000 gross, which quantity will shortly be increased to 50,000 gross, per week.
