Kaweco Sport History
The Kaweco Sport certainly resulted from a logical progression of the Kaweco product development. You can read the following information from old documents:
1908: In a catalogue for penholders there are the first Kaweco pocket fountain pens pictured 1911 / 1912: In price lists (1911 for Germany and 1912 for France): A Kaweco Safety pen for ladies, officers and sport guys is advertised. 1913: The short Safety pens are offered with the headline "SPORT-SERIES"- safest closure in every situation.
1925: Now, the Kaweco Safety pens with the sport series for ladies are offered. 1934: A flyer shows the first Kaweco Sport set with safety pen no. 9 and the mechanical pencil no. 17 plus the matching leather pouch. You can thus conclude that at the beginning of the 30's the Kaweco Sport had become an own special product and been consistently merchandised.
Not just in specialist shops Kaweco became a bestseller as well as in B2B business. A lot of well-known companies used the Kaweco Sport as a promotional gift. Particularly in the years 1950 to 1970. Special editions were co-developed since 1965. For instance the Kaweco Sport Set in a wooden case with "Kaweco clock" at the leather pouch or together with a Stoffels handkerchief. In 1972 the Sport was marketed with a pendant for the Olympic Games in Munich. From 1980 until 1994 nobody thought of the Sport until h & m gutberlet gmbh revived it.
