For some time the two brands were produced together; the Mentmore was transformed into a joint stock company in 1930. The situation at that time is not clear, there are those who reported that the brand Mentmore has been progressively replaced by Platignum, but by the late '30s to the' 50s, there is a large production of pens with this brand with explicit reference in advertisements to the "Mentmore Manufacturing Company". Also a patent of 1936 (nº GB-457212) explicitly shows the name of "Spot Pen Company" as the new name of 'Mentmore Manufacturing Company". However the "Spot Pen" name appears in an advertisement for the British Industries Fair of 1929, while maintaining the reference to the company as "Mentmore Manufacturing Company". Association with Platignum brand is established at least until 1957.[1]
