After the war production resumed at full speed only since 1947 with the reintroduction of a new [[Magna]] series, some of which were [[lever filler]]. In the same period were also introduced a new set of pearly marbled pens. But at that rime the company had lost all its innovation capacity, and continued to produce economic [[lever filler]] pens substantially following market trends with the [[Onoto Penmaster]] an [[hooded nib]] pen with metal cap. They also went in the ballpen market.

Come per gli altri grandi produttori la concorrenza della penna a sfera usa e getta assestò un colpo mortale all'azienda, l'ultimo modello significativo prodotto fu la [[Onoto K]] del 1955, una penna con [[caricamento a stantuffo]] con pennino coperto e serbatoio visibile e cappuccio a incastro, prodotta in diverse versioni. Nel 1958 la produzione di penne da parte della [[De La Rue]] cessò definitivamente con la chiusura dello stabilimento di Strathendry avvenuta il 27 febbraio 1958. La produzione comunque proseguì per qualche anno, fino al 1963, in Australia dove la ''Norman Backer'' e la ''Longhurst Pty Ltd.'' che avevano curato la distribuzione delle [[Onoto]] per 32 anni rilevarono la produzione. Come molti altri marchi storici anche la [[Onoto]] è stata riportata alla luce in tempi recenti per la produzione di penne moderne.

Like happened with other big producers, competition from disposable ballpoint dealt a mortal blow to the company, the latest significant product was the [[Onoto K]] of 1955, a [[piston filler]] pen with [[hooded nib]], visible tank and friction cap, produced in different versions. In 1958 pens production by the [[De La Rue]] finally ceased with the closing of the Strathendry factory occurred February 27, 1958. The production however continued for some years, until 1963, in Australia, where the ''Backer Norman'' and the ''Longhurst Pty Ltd.'' who managed [[Onoto]] distribution for 32 years, took over the brand. Like many other historic brands also [[Onoto]] was brought back to light in recent times for the production of modern fountan pens.
