<noinclude>{{Infobox_Brand|Aikin Lambert}}</noinclude>''Aikin Lambert'' was born in New York in [[1864]] from the union of two jewellers, James Cornelious Aikin and Henry Lambert, who joined forces to enter the then emerging market of writing instruments. Their initial production was focused on pencils and straws for nibs, made of precious metals, and companies such as [[Waterman]] and [[Wirt]] were supplied by them for the nibs. Around 1880 they began to market the first fountain pens as agents of the [[Wirt]].

The ''Aikin Lambert'' began to produce its own line of pens in about [[1890]]. These were good pens of conventional construction with [[eyedropper filler]], made of chiseled hard rubber or mottled hard rubber. The models made with precious metals (silver and gold), which were undoubtedly among the highest quality pens produced in that period, were particularly valuable. In general, the products of ''Aikin Lambert'' are recognized by the presence of the initials ''A.L.Co''.

In the following years the quality of the ''Aikin Lambert'' pens began to degrade progressively, and in the '30s the production was substantially limited to the production of the cheapest lines of pens; the prestige of the brand was thus progressively reduced until its definitive disappearance.
