| Unfortunately the American company, which at the beginning of the century had achieved good results in the United States, could not withstand the pressure of competition from its neighbors, and began a gradual decline that led it to the closure, which occurred at the beginning of 30s. In the meantime, however, the fountain pen Italian industry developed in particular in the district of [[Settimo Torinese]], which led Amisani to forge an independent production under the name of ''Società Anonima Penne a Serbatoio Williamson'' a company founded in the early '30s, located in Via Pr.

| In the '30s the company was manufacturing good quality fountain pens, these, as for the whole Italian production, were clearly inspired by American models. In particular, the [[Williamson]] was known for the production of imitations of the [[Vacumatic]], with ringed celluloid pens of excellent workmanship and good quality which have little to envy to the original from [[Parker]]. These were produced in four sizes with excellent flexible nibs. | | In the '30s the company was manufacturing good quality fountain pens, these, as for the whole Italian production, were clearly inspired by American models.
