Hi, I have just finished writing a short history of the famous British
pen brand, Onoto which is now available to view at:
http://hubpages.com/hub/A-Brief-History-of-Onoto-Pens.
(please copy
and paste into your browser).
For anyone who has a vintage Onoto or is interested in the background
and history of Onoto, I hope you will find the article interesting and
informative.
If you have any additional information which you feel should be
included, I would be happy to hear from you. I am particularly
interested in the manufacture of the Onoto Orion in Japan, in the
manufacture of Onoto pens in Australia in the late 1950s - 1960s, and
in the establishment of Onoto in the USA in 1909 onwards.
