English hallmarks have been used as evidence of purity of precious metals since 1300, well before Shakespeare was born.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd there’s a closer link with William Shakespeare… His father, John Shakespeare, was a well-to-do glover and whittawer in Stratford upon Avon, and made silk gloves and purses for the nobility. At that time, silk was very fashionable with the aristocracy so when it came to making a decision about the engraved pattern on the cap and barrel of the Shakespeare Pen it seemed appropriate to use a traditional engine-turned pattern known as ‘silk’ which was used by many English silversmiths in the past, but is rarely seen today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the end of the cap is an image of William Shakespeare which has been taken from the title page of his First Folio, published in 1623. ‘Made in England’ is also engraved on the cap top to reflect that not only is the pen made in England, but so was the world’s greatest playwright.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWriting with a Shakespeare Pen Sterling Silver \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eThere is nothing quite like writing with a well-balanced pen.
