The ''Pen-Co'' (or simply ''Penco'') brand is the best known brand of the ''F. R. V.'' (which stands for ''Fratelli Rossi Vicenza'') a company founded in Sandrigo, a small town located near Vicenza, in [[1923]], by Rinaldo and Marcello Rossi. The company was founded as ''Fratelli Rossi - Penne Stilografiche e Materiali Pressati'', adopting the ''[[Caesar]]'' initial brand name (with the logo inscribed on a plaque surmounted by the imperial eagle), clearly inspired by the climate established by the Fascist regime propaganda.

The production of the '30s was aimed at the lower end of the market, with [[button filler]] fountain pens produced mainly in black celluloid, but quality was still acceptable. The pens were generally identifiable by the words ''F.R.V.'' engraved on the barrel and on the nib. The company, however, also marketed parts and production on demand models, and because his nibs had a good quality/price ratio often happen to find them mounted on other pens.
