In 1941 were introduced [[Super Edacoto|new models]] similar to the previous ones, but without transparent barrel and with a normal [[lever filler]] system. In [[1943]] was introduced the [[Edacoto 87]], in both [[button filler|button]] and [[lever filler]],<ref>in [http://forum.styloplume.net/viewtopic.php?f=37&t=2263 this thread] has been shown a [[lever filler]] version.</ref> with a new clip and a more slender shape. It was also produced in molded plastic with solid color, and it was called ''Le stylo de france''. In [[1947]] was produced another model with the same name, with the transparent body and a more swollen shape. The quality, while still fine, was not in par to that of the previous models.

It should be noted, starting from [[1948]], the production attempt of a curious ballpoint pen, the ''Pointor'', equipped by a particular button filling system, which however did not reach the expected success. From [[1948]],  mentioned in an advertisement, is also the model ''95 grand luxe'', still called ''Le stylo de france''. In the '50s, put into crisis by the advent of the ballpoint pen, the [[Edacoto]] produced a large variety of average quality models. In [[1955]], following the success of the [[Parker 51]], was created an [[hooded nib]] model. In [[1958]] was introduced the cartridge filling system.
