Il marchio [[Colorado]] contraddistingue, più che una azienda, una singola penna. A lungo queste penne, anche in considerazione del sistema di caricamento (uno [[stantuffo tuffante]]), sono state attribuite alla [[Omas]] ma trattasi in realtà di un marchio completamente indipendente, legato alle attività di ''Orlando Quadretti'' che ne detiene anche la registrazione del marchio ({{Marchio|75447}}).<ref>come riportato nel testo di Letizia Jacopini l'attribuzione si deve al lavoro di di Gian Stefano Germano che gliela attribuisce nel testo "Storia Universale della Stilografica", ed è confermata dalle testimonianze dirette del figlio di Orlando Quadretti oltre che dai documenti sulla registrazione dei marchi dell'Archivio Centrale dello Stato.</ref>

La creazione della penna è legata alle attività del negozio di Quadretti, risalenti al 1938/39, che si specializzò nella vendita di stilografiche, ed il prototipo della penna, ancora in possesso degli eredi, venne realizzato intorno al [[1939]]. In quel periodo era infatti in voga la moda delle penne "doppie" (moda lanciata dalla [[Zerollo]] e proseguita con altri modelli come la [[Itala]]) in grado di scrivere con due diversi colori.

The creation of the pen is linked to the activities of the Quadretti store, dating from 1938-39, which specialized in the sale of fountain pens, and the prototype of the pen, still in possession of the heirs, was built around the [[1939]]. At that time it was in vogue the trend of "double" pens (launched by the [[Zerollo]] and continued with other models such as the [[Itala]]) able to write with two different colors.  
  
A differenza dei due modelli citati la [[Colorado]] si contraddistingue per una costruzione a forbice con due mezze penne che scorrono l'una sull'altra fino a disporsi in opposizione a 180°. Passando il cappuccio da una parte all'altra era quindi più veloce passare da una scrittura all'altra. Inoltre il meccanismo di incernieramento a forbice alla fine si può considerare meno delicato rispetto ai ben più complessi meccanismi degli altri modelli citati.

the [[Colorado]] is characterized by a construction with two half scissor-like pens that slide one over the other up to be disposed in opposition to 180°. Passing the cap from side to side was therefore faster switch from one writing to another.

Della penna, realizzata in [[celluloide]] si conoscono la versione nera (la più comune) e delle versioni anellate nei colori grigio e rosso/marrone o screziate (grigio e marrone). La produzione avveniva comunque in proprio anche se i pennini erano acquistati da una ditta di Bologna a fatti marchiare "''Quadretti''". La produzione comunque, visto il rapido passare della moda, fu piuttosto ridotta, sia in termini di esemplari che di estensione temporale, cosa che rende la penna alquanto rara.

The pen, made in [[celluloid]] is known to be made in black (the most common version) and in ringed versions in gray and red/brown or mottled (gray and brown). The production took place, however, in its own even if the nibs were purchased from a company in Bologna, with the "''Quadretti''" imprint. The production, however, given the rapid passing of the trend, was rather small, both in terms of numbers and in length of time, which makes the pen quite rare.  
  
Benché la [[Colorado]] sia l'unico modello con questo nome, è nota una ulteriore produzione marchiata  "''Quadretti''" risalenti probabilmente ai primi anni '40, costituita da penne in celluloide con pennino ordinario, anch'esso marchiato "''Quadretti''". La produzione pare essersi definitivamente interrotta nel dopoguerra.

Although the [[Colorado]] is the only model with this name, is known a further "''Quadretti''" production of some celluloid pens equipped with ordinary nib marked themself "''Quadretti''", probably dating back to the early 40s. The production seems to have been permanently discontinued after the war.

A ringed Colorado

The Colorado brand distinguishes, rather than a company, a single pen. For long time these pens, because of the filling system (a so called "stantuffo tuffante"), were attributed to Omas but they are from a completely independent brand, linked to the activities of Orlando Quadretti who also holds the trademark registration (Reg. Gen. N. 75447). [1]

The creation of the pen is linked to the activities of the Quadretti store, dating from 1938-39, which specialized in the sale of fountain pens, and the prototype of the pen, still in possession of the heirs, was built around the 1939. At that time it was in vogue the trend of "double" pens (launched by the Zerollo and continued with other models such as the Itala) able to write with two different colors.

Unlike the two mentioned models the Colorado is characterized by a construction with two half scissor-like pens that slide one over the other up to be disposed in opposition to 180°. Passing the cap from side to side was therefore faster switch from one writing to another. In addition, the hinge scissor mechanism can be considered less delicate than the much more complex mechanisms of the other two mentioned models.

The pen, made in celluloid is known to be made in black (the most common version) and in ringed versions in gray and red/brown or mottled (gray and brown). The production took place, however, in its own even if the nibs were purchased from a company in Bologna, with the "Quadretti" imprint. The production, however, given the rapid passing of the trend, was rather small, both in terms of numbers and in length of time, which makes the pen quite rare.

Although the Colorado is the only model with this name, is known a further "Quadretti" production of some celluloid pens equipped with ordinary nib marked themself "Quadretti", probably dating back to the early 40s. The production seems to have been permanently discontinued after the war.

Notes

  1. as described in the Letizia Jacopini book, this attribution is due to the Gian Stefano Germano work, who attribute it to him in the book "Storia Universale della Stilografica", and is confirmed by the direct testimony of the son of Orlando Quadretti and by the documents on the registration of Trademarks of the Archivio Centrale dello Stato.
