| − | Unfortunately the American company, which at the beginning of the century had achieved good results in the United States, could not withstand the competition pressure from its neighbours, and had a gradual decline that led it to its closing, which occurred at the beginning of the 30s. In the meantime however the Italian fountain pen industry developed, in particular in the district of [[Settimo Torinese]], which led Amisani, who since 1921 had registered the trademark ({{Marchio|20926}}) on his name, to create an independent production under the name of ''"Società Anonima Penne a Serbatoio Williamson"''. A precise date for the company foundation is not known, but early 1930s are being indicated, with headquarters at 12 Via Principe Amedeo, Turin, but the registration of the trademark, and the indication given in [[:File:1939-AnnuarioIndustriale-ProvTO-p396.jpg|this page]] of the ''Annuario industriale della provincia di Torino'' (the reliability of which, however, in the presence of several inconsistencies, is not conclusive) make [[1921]] more likely. In the registration of the trademark, however, there is a reference to its transfer to a ''"Società Anonima Penne a Serbatoio"'' which took place in August [[1934]] that constitutes a definite limit to the company's existence.
