La [[Edacoto]] è stata fondata (si presume negli anni '10, non è nota una datazione esatta) con il nome di ''Edac'' da ''Jacques Bonhomme'' a Issy-Les-Moulineaux, ma la sede dell'azienda venne spostata in Boulevard Arago 104, a Parigi, alla fine della prima guerra mondiale. Fino al 1920 l'azienda commercializzò i suoi prodotti con il marchio ''Edac'', passando solo in seguito all'uso del marchio [[Edacoto]] per motivi commerciali.

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.

L'azienda nacque come produttore di matite meccaniche in metallo, ma dal [[1922]] iniziò anche a produrre delle stilografiche; questi modelli iniziali erano delle penne con [[caricamento a levetta]] o [[safety]] realizzate in ebanite nera o marmorizzata, con una clip a pallina e doppia vera sul cappuccio. Di questo periodo è anche una particolare penna realizzata in metallo (una lega di nichel e rame) con [[caricamento a levetta|riempimento a levetta]] e cappuccio ad incastro; la peculiarità era dovuta al fatto che la penna aveva delle difficoltà di afflusso dell'inchiostro al pennino, che tendeva a seccarsi. Per questo la barretta interna era a forma di "U", da una parte era azionata dalla leva per il caricamento, dall'altra da un pulsante vicino alla giunzione per comprimere il sacchetto e ripristinare il flusso di inchiostro.

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.

Fino agli anni '30 l'azienda produsse per lo più matite meccaniche, ma nel [[1930]] raggiunse un accordo commerciale con la [[Aurora]] che le affidò la commercializzazione in Francia delle sue penne stilografiche. Da questo accordo nasce un nuovo prodotto, ''[[Le Duo Moderne]]'', la combinazione di una penna [[Aurora]] (una [[Internazionale]] con caricamento a [[levetta di fondo]]) ed una matita meccanica [[Edacoto]].  
+
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.

Nel [[1932]] l'azienda introdusse dei suoi [[Modelli iniziali Edacoto|nuovi modelli]] di stilografica con [[caricamento a levetta]], cappuccio con due verette e fermaglio con una punta a pallina simile a quello della [[Duofold]], l'anno successivo vennero prodotte penne di forma più affusolata e con più verette (fino a cinque) ([[Edacoto 104]]?). E' di questo periodo l'inizio della produzione della serie [[Bijouterie]], realizzata in metallo placcato (ma anche in oro ed argento), e caratterizzata da una grande cura nelle incisioni e decorazioni; la serie rimase in produzione fin dopo la seconda guerra mondiale cambiando vari sistemi di riempimento.  
+
In [[1932]], the company introduced its new [[Modelli iniziali Edacoto|fountain pen models]], with [[lever filler]] double band cap and and ball clip similar to the [[Duofold]] one. The following year were produced new pens with more streamlined shapes and more band/rings (up to five) ([[Edacoto 104]]?). It's from this time the beginning of the [[Bijouterie]] serie production, fountain pens made ​​in gold plated metal (but also in solid gold and silver), and characterized by a great attention in the engravings and decorations. The serie remained in production until after the WWII, changing various filling systems.  
  
−
Nel [[1934]] il marchio venne inciso sulla clip e nel [[1937]] vennero adottati nuovi fermagli con una linea scalettata ed una punta triangolare a forma di freccia, e la nuova linea venne prodotta con modelli a due e tre vere, fino al [[1943]]. Nel [[1938]] venne introdotta la [[Super Edacoto 200]], detta anche ''Visible'' o ''Transparent'', probabilmente il modello più significativo prodotto dall'azienda. La penna aveva la parte anteriore del fusto trasparente, ed era dotata di un sacchetto di gomma sulla parte posteriore. Questo veniva compresso da una leva, che causava il caricamento della sezione trasparente e dello stesso sacchetto, quando la sezione trasparente si era svuotata era possibile farvi fluire la riserva mantenuta nel sacchetto di gomma con l'azione sulla leva stessa.  
+
In [[1934]] the brand name was engraved on the clip and in [[1937]] were adopted, new clips with a jagged line with a triangular arrow-shaped tip.  The new line was produced with two or three cap band, until [[1943]]. In [[1938]] was introduced the [[Super Edacoto 200]] model, also called ''Visible'' or ''Transparent'', this is probably the most significant model produced by the company. The pen had the front part of the barrel transparent, and was equipped with a rubber sac on the back. This was compressed by a lever, which caused the filling of both the transparent section and the sac. When the transparent section had been emptied it was possible to make use the in reserve maintained inside the rubber sac with the action on the lever itself.

Nel 1941 vennero introdotti [[Super Edacoto|nuovi modelli]] simili ai precedenti ma senza sezione trasparente e con [[caricamento a levetta]]. Nel [[1943]] venne introdotta la [[Edacoto 87]], con caricamento a [[pulsante di fondo]] oltre che a levetta,<ref>in [http://forum.styloplume.net/viewtopic.php?f=37&t=2263 questa discussione] viene mostrata una versione a levetta.</ref> un nuovo fermaglio ed una forma più affusolata, prodotta anche in plastica a stampo in tinta unita, che venne chiamata ''Le stylo de france''.

La qualità, pur restando di rilievo, non era però equivalente a quella dei modelli precedenti.

In 1941 were introduced [[Super Edacoto|new models]] similar to the previous ones, but without transparent barrel and with a normal [[lever filler]] system. In [[1943]] was introduced the [[Edacoto 87]], in both [[button filler|button]] and [[lever filler]],<ref>in [http://forum.styloplume.net/viewtopic.php?f=37&t=2263 this thread] has been shown a [[lever filler]] version.</ref> with a new clip and a more slender shape. It was also produced in molded plastic with solid color, and it was called ''Le stylo de france''.

In the '50s, put into crisis by the advent of the ballpoint pen, the [[Edacoto]] produced a large variety of average quality models. In [[1955]], following the success of the [[Parker 51]], was created an [[hooded nib]] model. In [[1958]] was introduced the cartridge filling system.

Edacoto Logo

Edacoto is one of the main historic French brands, the company's origins are uncertain but before the First World War. It was founded as a manufacturer of mechanical pencils, entering fountain pens market after a collaboration with Aurora since the '30s.

The Edacoto pens are characterized by a general average quality, and although the company has never been reported for special contributions or innovative styling, the validity of its products has ensured the success and is still popular with collectors.{{Infobox_Brand|Edacoto}}

History

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.

A 1932 advertisement for Le Duo Moderne

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.

In 1932, the company introduced its new fountain pen models, with lever filler double band cap and and ball clip similar to the Duofold one. The following year were produced new pens with more streamlined shapes and more band/rings (up to five) (Edacoto 104?). It's from this time the beginning of the Bijouterie serie production, fountain pens made ​​in gold plated metal (but also in solid gold and silver), and characterized by a great attention in the engravings and decorations. The serie remained in production until after the WWII, changing various filling systems.

In 1934 the brand name was engraved on the clip and in 1937 were adopted, new clips with a jagged line with a triangular arrow-shaped tip. The new line was produced with two or three cap band, until 1943. In 1938 was introduced the Super Edacoto 200 model, also called Visible or Transparent, this is probably the most significant model produced by the company. The pen had the front part of the barrel transparent, and was equipped with a rubber sac on the back. This was compressed by a lever, which caused the filling of both the transparent section and the sac. When the transparent section had been emptied it was possible to make use the in reserve maintained inside the rubber sac with the action on the lever itself.

In 1941 were introduced new models similar to the previous ones, but without transparent barrel and with a normal lever filler system. In 1943 was introduced the Edacoto 87, in both button and lever filler,[1] with a new clip and a more slender shape. It was also produced in molded plastic with solid color, and it was called Le stylo de france. In 1947 was produced another model with the same name, with the transparent body and a more swollen shape. The quality, while still fine, was not in par to that of the previous models.

It should be noted, starting from 1948, the production attempt of a curious ballpoint pen, the Pointor, equipped by a particular button filling system, which however did not reach the expected success. From 1948, mentioned in an advertisement, is also the model 95 grand luxe, still called Le stylo de france. In the '50s, put into crisis by the advent of the ballpoint pen, the Edacoto produced a large variety of average quality models. In 1955, following the success of the Parker 51, was created an hooded nib model. In 1958 was introduced the cartridge filling system.

In 1959 together with a group of other companies (Evergood, Mallat, Gold Starry, Walkover and Soma), the company participated in the consortium that produced the Visor Pen, that was a great success, but was unable to revive the fortunes of the company that was absorbed by Mallat at the end of the '50s. The brand Edacoto continued to appear for a few years to finally disappear in the mid '60s.
