[[Edacoto]] was established (it is assumed in the '10s, an exact date is unknown) with the ''Edac'' name by ''Jacques Bonhomme'' in Issy-Les-Moulineaux, but the company seat was moved to the Boulevard Arago 104, in Paris, at the end of the World War I. Until 1920 the company marketed its products under the ''Edac'' brand name, passing to use of the [[Edacoto]] trademark only in a second time for commercial reasons.

The company was founded as a metal mechanical pencils manufacturer, but since [[1922]] it also began to produce fountain pens. These initial models were black or mottled hard rubber [[lever filler]] or [[safety]] pens, with ball clip and double ring on the cap. In this period was also made ​a particular ​[[lever filler]] metal pen (using a nickel and copper alloy) and friction cap; the peculiarity was due to the fact that the pen had difficulties in the ink flow to the nib, which tended to dry out. For this reason the internal spring was "U" shaped, one side was driven by the lever mechanism, the other by a button near the junction used to compress the sac and restore the ink flow.

Until the '30s the company produced mostly mechanical pencils, but in [[1930]] it reached a trade agreement with [[Aurora]] italian company, who entrusted it the marketing in France for his fountain pens. From this agreement comes a new product, ''[[Le Duo Moderne]]'', a combination of an [[Aurora]] fountain pen (an [[Internationale]] model) and an [[Edacoto]] mechanical pencil.
