🗞️ An era of ink and genius: We are in Bassano del Grappa between the twenties and thirties, when the Venetian manufacturer began to work celluloid for its flagship fountain pens, reserving the "Extra" brand only for the highest-end pens of production, while the cheaper lines were signed Elmo. This pen belongs precisely to that pioneering period: the bottom button filling, a typical technique of the very first Montegrappa celluloid models before the introduction of the piston at the end of the decade, confirms its dating. The marbled stem, worked to imitate the grain of the tortoiseshell, was then synonymous with bourgeois refinement, a precious and delicate material that has spanned almost a century, reaching us in remarkable condition. The gold nib contains the initials of the parent company and the hand-stamped gold fineness, testimony to an artisanal production that today belongs to the history of Italian writing.
