For some time the two brands were produced together; the [[Mentmore]] was transformed into a joint stock company in [[1930]]. The situation at that time is not clear, there are those who reported that the brand [[Mentmore]] has been progressively replaced by [[Platignum]], but by the late '30s to the' 50s, there is a large production of pens with this brand . Also a patent of 1936 ({{Cite patent|GB|457212}}) explicitly shows the name of ''Spot Pen Company'' as the new name of ''Mentmore Manufacturing Company''.

Intorno al 1939-1941 (?) venne prodotto il modello [[Mentmore Paramount]], una imitazione della [[Hundred Year]] della [[Waterman]], si trattava anche in questo caso di una penna in resina plastica con [[caricamento a levetta]], e dotata di un fondello decorativo in plastica trasparente analogo a quello usato della [[Waterman]]. La penna però era di linee più affusolate. Un'altra imitazione di penna famosa è la [[Mentmore 46]], penna a [[pennino coperto]] con caricamento a [[pulsante di fondo]], che si ispira chiaramente alla [[Parker 51]].

Around 1939-1941 (?) was produced the [[Mentmore Paramount]] model, an imitation of the [[Waterman]]'s [[Hundred Year]], it was also a plastic resin [[lever filler]] pen, and with a decorative transparent plastic bottom similar to that used by [[Waterman]]. The pen, however, had more slender lines. Another imitation is the [[Mentmore 46]], an hooded nib [[button filler]] pen, which was clearly inspired by the [[Parker 51]].
