Montegrappa Elmo 02 Asiago Ballpoint

The Montegrappa Elmo 02’s frugal minimalism was a necessity of the 1920s, but the inventiveness of the company’s first technical director provided a design that would stand on its own merit – and survive the test of time.

A century ago, Heinrich ‘Elmo’ Helm’s ingenious conical ends offered a way to dispense with expensive componentry without sacrificing decorative flair.

It’s a formula that still works today – enabling us to endow the Elmo 02 with professional performance at an enthusiast’s price.

The Elmo 02 is available as a fountain pen, rollerball and ballpoint pen.
