The history of the Brand:
The Croxley brand is synonymous with South African stationery over the last century and has been trusted as a stationery brand in our homes, schools and offices.
Did you know?
The Croxley Paper Mill was designed and built by John Dickinson in the 1800's,
in the village of Croxley Green in Hertfordshire, England.
The brand was originally known for making fine writing paper.
Towards the end of the 19th Century,
Croxley production expanded to incorporate a much wider variety of papers for writing, printing, magazines,
books, even glazed paper for illustrated journals and the special Bible paper,
for which the company became well known.
By the late 1800's,
Croxley had become the paper brand to use.
Several British pen brands were made by (or for) large stationery companies.
Despite being a secondary enterprise for these manufacturers, quality was generally as high,
or higher than that of the dedicated pen makers.
John Dickinson was and remains one of the largest paper manufacturers, establishing paper mills at Croxley in 1830's.
They were long famed for their Croxley Script paper, which is no longer made,
and the excellent Basildon Bond and economy Lion Brand which are still available.
Gradually, over decades,
they expanded into other related areas, going into fountain pen sales in the late nineteen thirties.
Their pens are high quality writing instruments.
They sold well and are common today, though they are somewhat underrated by buyers.
