The first [[Chilton]] pens were made in black or [[mottled]] hard rubber, but as early as [[1926]]  new models built in celluloid were produced, using the classic ''Jade green'' and ''Pearl Black'' colors. In these early years all [[Chilton]] production came from the Boston plant, and the models of this period are often referred to by the name of this city.

Alla fine degli anni '20 (il momento esatto del trasferimento è incerto, taluni lo indicano nel [[1926]], altri nel 1929) la [[Chilton]] trasferì gli impianti produttivi da Boston a Long Island (New York) inglobando anche i resti della [[Crocker]]. In questo periodo vennero prodotti nuovi modelli in [[celluloide]] con nuovi colori, e sviluppata una seconda versione del sistema di caricamento, in cui non era più il fusto esterno ad essere usato per la compressione, ma un contro-cappuccio metallico azionato tramite il fondello. In questo modo le dimensioni del cappuccio potevano tornare ad essere più proporzionate.  

In the late '20s (the exact moment of the transfer is not clear, some suggest it in [[1926]], others in 1929) the [[Chilton]] moved the production facilities from Boston to Long Island (in New York) also incorporating the remains of [[Crocker]]. In this period new celluloid models with new colors were produced, and a second version of the filling system was developed. In the new mechanism the external barrel was no longer used directly to do the compression, and there was an internal sliding metallic cylinder that could be driven through an handle back. The working principle was the same, but in this way the size of the cap could go back to a more proportionate dimension.
