[edit] Carter pens
In the 1920s, when upmarket writing pens were a popular luxury item, Carter began its range of pens. The line was discontinued in the early 1930s, but they are still fondly remembered and sought after by collectors.
[edit] Carter's Ink today
Carter's Ink was acquired by Dennison, which later became Avery Dennison. The Carter name is still used on ink-related products such as stamp pads.
It was a company that made Marks-a-Lot markers.
