La ''Uhlmann's Eterno'' venne fondata nel [[1902]] a Milano da ''Emil Uhlmann''<ref>in alcune fatture  dell'azienda (come [[:File:UhlmannsEterno-Invoice-1932-09.jpg|questa]]) viene riportato questo anno con la dicitura ''"casa fondata nel 1902"'', ed anche se questo non costituisce una prova dell'inizio di produzione di stilografiche in quell'anno, lo assumeremo comunque come anno di fondazione.</ref> come azienda specializzata nella produzione di rivestimenti in metallo laminato o in oro di varie tipologie di oggetti, fra cui anche le matite meccaniche. Benché presente sul mercato dall'inizio del secolo l'azienda si riteneva generalmente che l'azienda non fosse entrata sul mercato delle stilografiche fino alla prima metà degli anni '20, con la commercializzazione di penne [[rientranti]] o a [[caricamento a contagocce|contagocce]] in ebanite, presumibilmente realizzate assemblando parti importate dalla Germania.  

''Uhlmann's Eterno'' was founded in Milan by ''Emil Uhlmann'' in [[1902]]<ref>in some invoices (like [[:File:UhlmannsEterno-Invoice-1932-09.jpg|this one]]) this year is reported by the wording ''"casa fondata nel 1902"'', and also if the fountain pen production is not sure in this year, we assume it as the foundation one.</ref> as a company dedicated to productions of rolled gold overlays for different objects, as also mechanical pencils. Although it was on the market from the 1900 beginnings, general opinion was that it entered fountain pen production around the first half of '20s, by marketing some [[safety]] or [[eyedropper filler]] hard rubber pen, using parts imported from Germany.  

But in fact the company activities in the fountain pens field originated in the '10s, because since [[1912]] ''Emil Uhlmann'' registered, as well as the ''Eterno'' trademark ({{Marchio|12335}}) also the [[Famos]] ({{Marchio|12938}}) and ''The Royal'' ({{Marchio|14896}}) trademarks containing explicit references to ''fountain pens''. Since it is unreasonable to register a trademark for something that is not sold, this consent to attribute to ''Uhlmann's Eterno'' the title of the oldest Italian manufacturer.
