After the war production resumed at full speed only since [[1947]] with the reintroduction of a new [[Magna]] series, some of which were [[lever filler]]. In the same period were also introduced a new set of pearly marbled pens. But at that rime the company had lost all its innovation capacity, and continued to produce economic [[lever filler]] pens substantially following market trends with the [[Onoto Penmaster]] an [[hooded nib]] pen with metal cap. They also went in the ballpen market.

Come per gli altri grandi produttori la concorrenza della penna a sfera usa e getta assestò un colpo mortale all'azienda, l'ultimo modello significativo prodotto fu la [[Onoto K]] del [[1955]], una penna con [[caricamento a stantuffo]] con pennino coperto e serbatoio visibile e cappuccio a incastro, prodotta in diverse versioni. Nel [[1958]] la produzione di penne da parte della [[De La Rue]] cessò definitivamente con la chiusura dello stabilimento di Strathendry avvenuta il 27 febbraio 1958. La produzione comunque proseguì per qualche anno, fino al [[1963]], in Australia dove la ''Norman Backer'' e la ''Longhurst Pty Ltd.'' che avevano curato la distribuzione delle [[Onoto]] per 32 anni rilevarono la produzione. Come molti altri marchi storici anche la [[Onoto]] è stata riportata alla luce in tempi recenti per la produzione di penne moderne.

Like happened with other big producers, competition from disposable ballpoint dealt a mortal blow to the company, the latest significant product was the [[Onoto K]] of [[1955]], a [[piston filler]] pen with [[hooded nib]], visible tank and friction cap, produced in different versions. In [[1958]] pens production by the [[De La Rue]] finally ceased with the closing of the Strathendry factory occurred February 27, 1958. The production however continued for some years, until [[1963]], in Australia, where the ''Backer Norman'' and the ''Longhurst Pty Ltd.'' who managed [[Onoto]] distribution for 32 years, took over the brand. Like many other historic brands also [[Onoto]] was brought back to light in recent times for the production of modern fountain pens.
