Celluloid pens were joined also by [[safety]] versions decorated with elaborate metal [[overlay]]s, again named after the [[Waterman]] [[Numerazione Waterman|pattern]] with the numbers 42 , 42½ and 42½ V, that were probably made by [[Columbus]]. Alsa the model called ''[[Velox]]'' was [[Columbus]] production, similar to the round [[Columbus Extra]] models, with wheel clip and two rings of different thickness on the cap.

Solo a partire dagli anni '40 la collaborazione con [[Omas]] e [[Columbus]] cessò, probabilmente a causa delle difficoltà negli approvvigionamenti di celluloide. Allora la [[Ercolessi]] si rivolse alla [[Ancora]], che produsse per l'azienda dei modelli con [[caricamento a stantuffo]] denominati ''Ercolessi 62'' e ''Ercolessi 65'', derivati dalle versioni economiche della [[Lusso]].  

Since the '40s collaboration with [[Omas]] and [[Columbus]] ceased, probably because of the difficulties in the supply of celluloid. Then the [[Ercolessi]] turned to [[Ancora]], which produced for the company [[piston filler]] models called ''Ercolessi 62'' and ''Ercolessi 65'', derived from the [[Lusso]] economic versions.  

Nel periodo bellico e dell'immediato dopoguerra le difficoltà economiche restrinsero le vendite degli articoli di lusso ed anche la [[Ercolessi]] si adeguò con la produzione di modelli più economici, commissionati in questo caso alla [[Montegrappa]] e alla [[Radius]], in particolare da quest'ultima venne prodotta la cosiddetta ''Serie 70'', derivata della [[Radius Extra]] affusolata.  

During the war and post-war the economic difficulties narrowed sales of luxury goods, and even the [[Ercolessi]] fell into line with the production of cheaper models, commissioned in this case to [[Montegrappa]] and [[Radius]], in particular the latter produced the so-called ''Series 70'', a derivative of the streamlined [[Radius Extra]].  

Negli anni successivi, con la crisi della stilografica e l'ingresso sul mercato della penna a sfera usa e getta, la [[Ercolessi]] cessò completamente la produzione di penne stilografiche a marchio proprio, restando attiva soltanto nell'attività commerciale con i negozi di Milano, che anche oggi sono un punto di riferimento per gli appassionati di stilografiche di quella città.  

In the following years, with the crisis of the fountain and the market entry of the disposable ballpoint pens, [[Ercolessi]] completely ceased the production of fountain pens under its own brand, remaining active only in business with stores Milan, which even today are a reference point for  fountain pens fans in that city.
