Place where quill pen invented: Spain

Quill Pen was made up of: Swan Features

Time of invention: 19th Century






Pens finally took on an actual shape in 3000 BC, as the ancient Egyptians used a special type of rush that was growing on the coastline. This special type of rush is known to us as "Juncus maritimus", or sea rushes. These plants were used to develop writing on papyrus scrolls. A small advancement was made to the early writing utensil in 1300 B.C., when the Romans developed a metal stylus. The metal stylus was thoroughly defined here: An iron instrument, resembling a pencil in size and shape, used for writing upon waxed tablets. Forwarding several years later, the Egyptians advanced further into the pen by employing thick Calamus/Bamboo reeds. The Chinese also had their own plan [for pens] as well, as they implemented brushes  made from Camel/Rat hair. The reed pen survived until papyrus was replaced by animal skin.
The quill pen was created in the 5-6th century in Seville, Spain. They were made from swan features.
The quill pen was replaced by the metal nibs by 19th century. 



Ball point pens also made their mark in the pen history in the late 19th century, but were their patents were not exploited commercially. Ball points made their public appearance in the 1940s by Josef and Georg Biro, two Germans who fled Nazi Germany to Argentina. The Biro brothers filed a new patent in 1943, and their was accepted and sold in Argentina as Birome.
Another manufacturer emerged from the depths of marketing with Bic pens in 1953, named Michael Bich. In the 1960s when he published his campaign slogan, "Writes The First Time, Every Time!".
In 1963, Rollerball pens were introduced to the public in 1963 by the Japanese company, Ohto.
