...invention. It is not known who first conceived the idea of a fountain pen or who first attempted to make one. A crude fountain pen was discovered in the ruins of Pompeii and other ink-containing instruments were known to be in the possession of King Louis XIV of France and Thomas Jefferson. In this country alone several hundred patents for "fountain pens" were issued prior to Mr. Waterman's patent.
