Heralding Edison’s New Herald

Fill Your Onoto the Way Colonel Winston Churchill Filled His!
The Heritage is Onoto’s tribute to the pen that created the name Onoto the Pen. In 1905, a mechanical engineer, tinkerer, and sometime vaudeville performer named George Sweetser patented a revolutionary plunger-operated filling system, and within the year his invention was available to pen buyers in the United Kingdom. Today’s Heritage is a true plunger-filling pen that operates exactly the same way as the first Onotos, featuring a smooth and reliable one-stroke operation that flushes the pen and fills it at the same time.
