In the '20s the company began to produce [[lever filler]] ebonite pens: the [[A.R.A]] model, standing for ''Aurora a Riempimento Automatico''<ref>meaning ''automatic filling [[Aurora]]''</ref> had a great success beyond the Italy boundaries and led [[Aurora]] alongside the major European manufacturers. At that time, the company followed the common practice of European producers who saw them build models similar to those marketed by big American producers, who then dominated the stylistic trends and technological development. But although they were obvious imitations, these models often ended up to be well above the original production for their quality or for specific stylistic achievements.
