Later for these models the ball clip was replaced by a clip terminated with a spatula, which will then be re-used on other models, starting from the [[Minerva Classical]] of [[1934]].

In the early 30s new versions with more slender forms were produced, for which different versions are known. A model is known between collectors as [[Minerva Elliptical]] on the basis of the name given them by E. Dolcini in his book on [[Omas]].

During the same period were also produced with brand [[Minerva]] some [[Parker]] [[Thrift Time]] imitations, substantially identical to the original except for the paddle clip and the different celluloid colors, in addition, of course, to the inscription of ''Minerva'' and ''March. Dep.'' on the body, always put on two overlapping lines in uppercase.

In [[1934]] was introduced the line called [[Minerva Classica]], characterized by the prevailing use of new paddle clip, and with [[lever filler]], which was kept in production until the 40s. The brand [[Minerva]] remained in production even in the 50s and 60s with the model [[Minerva 60]], a [[piston filler]] first produced in [[celluloid]] and then in thermoplastic resin. There are no known productions with this brand beyond the end of the 60s.
