La classificazione dei modelli è estremamente complessa, benché infatti a partire dagli anni '20 l'azienda usasse dei nomi, le varie penne venivano comunque identificate da un numero e talvolta soltanto da questo. Negli anni '20 il modello di punta (che resterà tale per due decenni) è la [[Duro]], una penna di grandi dimensioni; a questa affianca la piccola e funzionale [[Dinkie]], e la più economica [[Universal]]. Altri modelli realizzati nello stesso periodo sono la [[Pixie]] e la  [[Dandie]].
