Parker’s most iconic and bestselling pen — in continuous production since 1954, the Jotter has sold hundreds of millions of units worldwide.1

History

Introduced in 1954 as Parker’s entry into the ballpoint pen market, the Jotter was designed to be reliable, affordable, and distinctively Parker.1 The click-action mechanism and stainless steel body set it apart from cheap competitors.

Significance

The Jotter proved that Parker could compete in the mass market without sacrificing quality. It became the world’s bestselling ballpoint pen and remains in production today — one of the longest-lived pen designs in history.1
