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.

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.

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]].

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.
