Montegrappa Elmo History

As aficionados know, ‘Elmo’ is a touchstone to Montegrappa’s formative years, and a name synonymous with the democratisation of writing across Italy. The early 20th century was an era of mass adoption, and pen makers would prioritize design over decoration to broaden their appeal. For Helm and his contemporaries, artisanal invention was often a valuable substitute for scarce and expensive metals.
