| The company's origins date back to the activity of Nisbet MacNiven that in [[1770]] founded a factory in Balerno, near Edinburgh, the city where activities on stationery production were transferred in [[1788]]. In [[1840]] John and Donald Cameron joined the company that became the ''MacNiven & Cameron Ltd.'' ''Duncan Cameron'' is credited with the design of the ''Waverley'' nib produced by ''[[Gillot Steel Pens]]'' since [[1864]] and roughly until the mid-70s of the 19th century. The company acquired a factory in Birmingham in 1900 and continued to produce nibs working in the stationery products market up to the closure of the factory in 1964. | | The company's origins date back to the activity of Nisbet MacNiven that in [[1770]] founded a factory in Balerno, near Edinburgh, the city where activities on stationery production were transferred in [[1788]].

The cited advertising suggests the presence of a main office in London with branches in Glasgow, Edinburgh and Paris.<ref>The company is also cited by Lambrou for the production of ''Waverley'' pens, that name, however, seems to has been used only for the nibs of the same name. </ref> Another model name known (present in [http://www.prints-online.com/pictures_1738755/cameron-pens-advertisement.html another flyer]) is ''Guinea Pen'', instead between the brand photos there is a lever filler model called ''"Cameron N.4"''. | + | The company entered the fountain pens market in the 10s (at least since [[1916]], as evidenced by the advertising in the figure, and a patent, {{Cite patent|US|940509}}, is from [[1908]]); it was also active in the French market.

− | Le stesse penne erano distribuite in Francia alla fine della prima guerra mondiale con il nome ''S.A.R. Cameron'' (dove comunque S.A.R. non è altro che l'acronimo di ''Safety Auto Remplissage'') da Kirbie, Bird and C. con sede in Rue Auber, 5 a Parigi. L'azienda pare rimasta attiva fino al [[1964]], anche se chi riporta una fine della produzione precedente.

The company apparently remained active until [[1964]], even if someone is reporting an earlier end to production. |
