Parker Quink, Green ink, "Made in Canada" Just a little ink left
THE ROUND BOTTLE ERA 1931-1938
Parker started producing Quink in 1931. The original bottle shape was a squat, round bottle with vertical ridges on the top of the bottle and a solid strip around the center of the bottle which is where the label was placed. From 1931-1935, the labels had vertical lines on either side of the word “Quink”. This label was replaced in 1936 with a design that lasted until 1938 and had a series of parallel horizontal lines on either side of the word “Quink”. Labeling was consistent across all bottle sizes.
Quink (a portmanteau word from 'quick' and 'ink') is a fountain pen ink developed by the Parker Pen Company. It was introduced in 1931 and has remained in production ever since.
