The origins of [[Météore]] are uncertain, the company was founded in 1916 as ''Manifacture Parisienne de PPR'' (''Porte Plume Reservoir'') by ''Demilly'' and ''Degen'', then become ''[[La Plume d'Or]]'' in 1921. It is not known whether the company is descended from ''Franco-British Manufacturing Pen ' founded by Charcellay in Paris in 1910.  ''[[La Plume d'Or]]'' was still on the market after the end of World War I, producing two brands: [[Météore]] and [[L. Badois]], and also for third parties. The second brand is linked to the activity of ''Luis Badois'', holder of fountain pen patents both for his own then jointly with the '[[La Plume d'Or]]''.

The [[Météore]] first models were black or marbled  hard rubber [[eyedropper]] or [[safety]] pens, similar to those of other French manufacturers of the same era, to which they added later[[lever filler]] models. The first pen clearly associated with the brand was introduced in 1922, was characterized by incision of the [[Météore]] name on the cap, decorated also with a white ring at the top, and had the lever end in the form of a shamrock. The nibs were often marked with the initials (D and D) of the founders. In this period were produced [[safety]] or [[lever filler]] ebonite fountain pens in two dimensions for both men and women. Model names of this period are Zodiac and Prompto.
