The MacKinnon Pen Company

During the 19th century, Duncan MacKinnon established a pen company known as The MacKinnon Pen Company in Brooklyn, New York. MacKinnon had the original patent for the Stylographic pen and it is known that Mark Twain received one as a gift, a MacKinnon Stylo. He was very impressed with its performance and enthusiastically urged friends to adopt "the best fountain pen yet invented". It is thought that he used this pen during the writing of Huckleberry Finn.
"Having this historical connection with the Clan MacKinnon, it gives me great pleasure to introduce myself to connoisseurs of collectable pens".
