Ink and fountain pen dealer owned by Francis Cashell Brown. Sold
Stylographic pens, eyedropper and safety pens. His safety pen was the basis
for the later Waterman safety. His safety sold so well overseas
Caw's opened a branch office in London. Brown was involved with many
pen companies and has his own
listing above. Models included the Dainty, Dashaway , Easy and more. Had a
great logo with a blackbird standing on an ink bottle. Brown was sued
by Paul Wirt over the similarity between the Caw's Dashaway and the
Wirt pens. Wirt won. Caw's also sold an interesting pen filler that
would fill eyedropper pens right from the bottle and eliminate the
need for the eyedropper. His safety pen is
probably the most sought after from the line. In 1889 President Benjamin
Harrison and his wife both used Caw's Dashaway pens. See also
