 The original name of the company was  "The Popular Fountain Pen Co".  This dates back to 1886 [or earlier].  High quality eyedropper and self filling fountain pens. I believe he had his pens made by other companies and was only a designer/inventor. He sold an early ink-maker pen called the "Security" which according to him held a years ink supply before you needed a  replacement cartridge.  He also sold a pen called the Nosak, which he claimed had no bladder and was filled by the suction of the cap?  I am guessing that this was a blo-filler and the cap would fit snug enough to produce a vacuum.  Out of  business by 1922. Trademarks included Nosack [or Nosak]  , Record, Security , John Hancock, Red Robin and more.  Also made stylo pens.
