British based William Mitchell Calligraphy has been
designing and manufacturing exceptional pens for
almost 200 years.
The William Mitchell heritage in making pen nibs began
whilst working with his brother John Mitchell in the early 1820s.
William Mitchell established his own business in 1825 to
become one of the leading nib manufacturers and famous for
lettering pens. Almost 100 years later William Mitchell merged
with Hinks, Wells & Co another pen manufacturer to form
British Pens employing around 1000 people in the Bearwood
Road area of Birmingham. During the early 1960s British Pens
acquired the pen business of other pen manufacturers
Perry & Co and John Mitchell once again reuniting the
two brothers. Joseph Gillott who were famous for their artist
drawing and mapping nibs amalgamated with British pens
in 1969.
William Mitchell and Joseph
Gillott established in Birmingham
during the early part of the
nineteenth century and are still
proudly made here.
British Pens were subsequently purchased by its current owner
Byron Head the owner of William Mitchell (Sinkers) in 1982 and
was subsequently renamed William Mitchell (calligraphy) Ltd.
Established in 1827 Joseph Gillott was one of the pioneers of mass
steel pen nib manufacturing. The company was particularly strong in the
American market, prompting Elihu Burrit the American consul to write
“In ten thousand school house across the American continent between
two oceans, a million children are as familiarly acquainted with Joseph
Gillott as with Noah Webster” (The compiler of the
famous American dictionary)
The company consequently received visits
from many notable Americans, including
president Ulysses S Grant.
