In [[1933]] was introduced the [[Novum]] model in two versions, with smooth or faceted body and cap, produced in a variety of different celluloid colors. The pen had a particular ''[[levetta di fondo|back lever filler]]'' system and a special security clip, present on the larger models, that at the insertion of the pen in the pocket triggered an hook that clipped the outside of the pocket fabric to prevent accidental exit, and that should be released by pulling forward the tip of the clip. With several variations the pen remained on the market until the early 40's.

The [[Asterope]] model was introduced in [[1934]], two years after the similar design of the [[Pullman]] model by [[Météore]]. This pen can be considered an ancestor and forerunner of the [[Capless]], produced by [[Pilot]] 30 years later. The pen had no cap; the nib could be moved inside the body of the pen, through a side slider, and was protected by a closing lid that opened when the nib was extracted. The pen had some success for its characteristic of being usable with one hand alone.
