1911 didn't
see quite as much change in the Parker line of pens as
the year before, but one great addition to the Parker
line was the "Aztec" pen. George Parker
tells in a 1911 Sidetalk how he went to Santa Fe in New
Mexico and visited the Archeological institute of
America. There he found "the most wonderful
collection of Indian and Aztec relics" he ever
saw. In one room he saw "a most peculiar design
of early Aztec designing". He was told that it
was the Aztec emblem of mystic power, the preserver of
life and the guardian of spring an streams. Parker
promptly secured the rights to copy the design. Back
home in the US he had a silver smith reproduce the
pattern at it was used on the new pen. |
