La [[Columbus]] è stata fondata nel [[1918]], ed è stato uno dei primi produttori di penne stilografiche nato in Italia. Le penne della [[Columbus]], come molte altre analoghe produzioni italiane, erano delle imitazioni dei modelli prodotti delle più famose ditte americane; erano però di buona qualità, e di ottima realizzazione stilistica, cosa che fa rientrare l'azienda fra le più significative del panorama italiano.{{Infobox_Marca|Columbus}}{{BrandData|Founder=Eugenio Verga, Alfredo Verga|Date=1918|Place=Milano|Country=IT|Fullname=Alfredo Verga dei Fratelli Verga Snc}}
