Negli anni successivi l'azienda, come tutti gli altri costruttori di penne stilografiche, subì un progressivo declino dovuto alla crisi creata dall'introduzione della penna a sfera, ma continuò a produrre modelli in plastica ad iniezione con caricamento a stantuffo di buona qualità, non raggiunse mai comunque il successo dei suoi anni d'oro e nel 1975 venne definitivamente chiusa, anche se oggi il marchio è stato riportato in attività per la produzione di penne moderne.

During '50s and '60s, the company, like almost all fountain pen manufacturers, underwent a steady decline as it was hardly hit by the crisis due to the introduction of the ballpoint pen. [[Ancora]] continued to produce some [[piston filler]] plastic models, however its fountain pens never reached the success of its best years, and in 1975 the company ceased operations.
