| + | La ''Olo'' nasce come sottomarca della [[Aurora]] nel [[1929]], più o meno in contemporanea con la ''sorella'' [[ASCO]] e con l'uscita delle [[Duplex]] in celluloide. La ''Olo'' sembra essere stata creata per affrontare il segmento di mercato delle stilografiche di fascia medio bassa, in modo da affiancare alla produzione dei modelli di pregio marcati [[Aurora]] delle stilografiche di prezzo inferiore (ed ovviamente meno pregiate) ma sempre di buona costruzione. Il marchio in realtà era stato registrato ({{Marchio|41031}}) nel [[1929]] per tutt'altro: ''"latte, tè, caffè e surrogati, oli e grassi commestibili, ..., pizzi, ricami, feltri, carte, cartoni, carte per tappezzeria, ecc."''. |

| In commercial diversification strategy implemented by [[Aurora]] initially the ''Olo'' brand was completely independent, marketed through an extensive network of retail outlets other than ordinary stationers. For this reason, at the beginning of the brand history there was no reference to the parent company nor on the pens nor in related documents; the manufacturer was called ''Fabbrica di Penne a Serbatoio Olo'' and as company address was used a post office box in Turin. | | In commercial diversification strategy implemented by [[Aurora]] initially the ''Olo'' brand was completely independent, marketed through an extensive network of retail outlets other than ordinary stationers.
