Note: This section between these horizontal lines is a page of information I copied from somewhere on the Internet. I have no idea where I copied it from or if it is accurate. As a collector of fountain pens I have included it here since everything must be somewhere. I do not know if the company is still in business or not. FJA
Arnold Fountain Pen Company
132-42 E. Washington St
Petersburg, Virginia. 1935-2005
The Arnold pen company was started by Remmie Arnold in 1935. Remmie Arnold had worked for the Edison Pen Co and left to start his own company. He knew that their was a large market for low priced fountain pens and he built his pen company into one of the largest fountain pen companies in the world. His pens sold at dime stores and discount stores all of the country [and many other countries]. Most of his pens were priced from 19 cents to 89 cents. He did sell some pens with gold nibs, but they are very hard to find today [they sold for one dollar].
Most of the Arnold line were lever fillers. Pen pencil combos were probably their biggest seller.
Although the Arnold pens were not high priced, they did come in some great colors and they were made fairly well. They have plated trim and most have gold plated nibs. The main interest in them today is for their varied colors.
