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]]. 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|''Waverley'' nib]] produced by ''[[Gillott]]'' 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]].

L'azienda entrò nel mercato delle stilografiche negli anni '10 (almeno dal [[1916]], come testimoniato dalla pubblicità in figura, ed un brevetto, {{Cite patent|US|940509}}, è del [[1908]]), e fu attiva anche sul mercato francese. Dalla solita pubblicità si evince la presenza di una sede principale a Londra con filiali a Glasgow, Edimburgo e Parigi.<ref>L'azienda è pure citata da Lambrou per la produzione di penne ''Waverley'', il cui nome pare però essere stato usato solo per i pennini omonimi.</ref> Un nome di modello (presente in un [http://www.prints-online.com/pictures_1738755/cameron-pens-advertisement.html altro volantino]) noto è ''Guinea Pen'', dalle foto invece emerge un modello con caricamento a levetta denominato "''Cameron N.4''".  

The company entered the fountain pens market in the early 1900s (at least since [[1907]], as evidenced by this [[:File:1907-0x-Waverley-FountainPen.jpg|advertisement]] in the ''Strand Magazine''), repurposing a fountain pen with a [[Waverley nib|''Waverley'' nib]], covered by a patent from the same year ({{Cite patent|GB|190708313}}) named  ''"[[Waverley Fountain Pen]]"''. The same advertisement shows that the company is headquartered in London with branches in Glasgow, Edinburgh and Paris.<ref>The company is cited by Lambrou for producing ''[[Waverley]]'' pens, but the name appears to have been used initially only for the models named ''[[Waverley Fountain Pen]]'', because of the eponymous type of nib, and not as a stand-alone brand.</ref> 

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 began marketing pens under its own name from about [[1916]], as evidenced by the advertisement on the side, with the invention of a special tweezer filling system (patent {{Cite patent|GB|101241}} of the same year), which were called ''"[[Cameron Safety Self Filler]]"''. These pens were made in different sizes, and, echoing the feature of the earlier ''"[[Waverley Fountain Pen]]"'' were also characterized by the possibility of mounting different [[Tipologie pennini Cameron|special nib]] derived directly from the equivalents popular in the world of dip nibs.
