Self-registerd as the ''First and most important Italian manufacturer of Fountain Pens'' the ''G. Tibaldi e C.'' is certainly one of the oldest factories Italian fountain pens; this record is disputed both by [[Montegrappa]], which traces its origins to four years before, and [[Nettuno]] whose initial traces date back to 1911. [[Montegrappa]], however, began production fountain pens only in the 20s, being born as a nibs manufacturer, and therefore cannot considered the first fountain pens factory, being in this back even to the [[Aurora]]. The [[Nettuno]], from the limited data available, it appears to have been a simple family business where pens were assembled for their shop, the registration of the company is, however, as of 1916 for the [[Tibaldi]] and the actual production of fountain pens also in this case is to ask starting from the 20s, which again does not qualify as either factory fountain pens, nor as a producer to all effects. The only documented antecedent production is the [[Uhlmann's Eterno]] one, of which there are traces as early as 1913.
