Since the '20s the ''[[Ancora]]'' branded [[safety|safeties]] were joined by the sub-brand ''[[Rapid]]'', that remained in production until about the '40s. This sub-brand was associated only with pens made with precious metal [[overlay]], that were marked with the name ''Rapid'' and the letters "G.Z." within a diamond on the cap. The nib was still marked ''Ancora'' or ''Warranted'' with an engraving of an anchor and the initials "G.Z." Whitin this line, especially in the '30s, have been designed some [[overlay]] with the most refined and elegant decorations of that time.

Intorno al 1930 vennero prodotti i [[Ancora Flat-top|primi modelli]] in [[celluloide]], chiaramente ispirati alla [[Duofold]] della [[Parker]], con le estremità in ebanite nera, la clip a pallina ed il caricamento a [[pulsante di fondo]]. Questi modelli vennero prodotti in due dimensioni in celluloide marmorizzata o nero o in tinta unita. Ad essi seguirono modelli con le estremità leggermente affusolate, prodotti anche in celluloide a colori vivaci, ad oggi molto rari ed estremamente ricercati dai collezionisti.

Around 1930 [[Ancora]] produced the [[Ancora Flat-top|first celluloid models]], clearly inspired by the [[Parker]] [[Duofold]], with ebonite black ends a ball clip and [[button filler]]. These models were produced in two sizes, using marbled, black or single colored celluloid. They were soon followed by other models with slightly tapered end, produced in a colorful celluloid; now these early celluloid model are very rare and highly sought by collectors.
