Unic was founded in 1919 by M. M. Kothe and Vannier, but few details are known of the company. The company initially produced good quality hard rubber pens both safety and lever filler. It is particularly distinguished for the quality of the versions decorated with laminated silver, gold overlay.
It is best known for marketing in 1932 the Duocolor, a double pen allowing you to either use two separated pens loaded with different colors. This pen is identical to Zerollo and in essence is nothing more than a rebranding of the Genoese company products.
Come per la Zerollo la penna ebbe un successo limitato, proprio per la fragilità meccanica dovuta alla notevole complessità della stessa, considerata la relativa utilità della soluzione. Era inoltre costosa, per cui alla fine ne vennero prodotte poche ed è pertanto fra le più ricercate e le più care delle penne francesi.
