The [[Stilus]] company, founded in Turin in 1917 by ''Emilio Pecco'', is one of the oldest Italian fountain pens  manufacturer, and it was born well before much more prestigious brands such as [[Aurora]] and [[Omas]]. The company was present on the market until the 50s, but then suffered the effects of the introduction of new materials and consequent market changes. It ceased production in 1955 selling the brand to the [[Pagliero]] company, that was using it until approximately mid '60s.

The production, despite a progressive deterioration in quality suffered in the postwar period, when the company declined, was quite goof and up to all the '30s was of the highest quality, with nothing to envy to the other best Italian producers. The brand is less known, however, and this leads to lesser interest by collectors respect to other brand younger in historical productions and which do not have an equivalent quality.{{Infobox_Brand|Stilus}}

At least in the early years is also known an economic production under the brand ''[[Eridania]]'', usually accompanied by a model number, and sometimes by the letters ''PCT'', as an acronym of ''Pecco and C., Turin''. The initial production were eyedropper or [[safety]] hard rubber pens, in four different sizes. The same trademark was used on a later production for celluloid [[button filler]] models.

It is also believed that the company has produced parts and pen for other brands, and some believe that also the brand ''[[Scriba]]'' is attributable to [[Stilus]]. For sure it was the [[Eridano]] trademark, registered in 1929 ({{Marchio|38320}}), which use is confirmed by [[:File:Stilus-Eridano-Invoice-1937-01.jpg|this invoice]] from 1937.

Si ritiene anche che l'azienda abbia prodotto per altri marchi, alcuni ritengono gli sia attribuibile anche la produzione a marchio ''[[Scriba]]'', ma questo è da escludere essendo il marchio registrato ({{Marchio|42353}}) da una azienda di Verona. Di certo è attribuibile alla ''Pecco e C.'' il marchio [[Eridano]] registrato nel 1929 ({{Marchio|38320}}), il cui uso è confermato anche da [[:File:Stilus-Eridano-Invoice-1937-01.jpg|questa fattura]] del 1937.

After this early ones, as done by most Italian brands in the same period, newer models were produced using a [[Duofold]]-like style. Some of them have a ball clip marked with the ''Stilus'' brand in cursive engraved vertically, to which was added a longitudinal ''18 KR'' engraving written on the end of the clip near the ball. These models were produced with both button and lever filler. The production of these models continued until the '30s, with new celluloid versions.
