The Mentmore was founded as Mentmore Manufacturing Company in 1919 in London, and owes its name to the location of its first office in Mentmore Terrace, Hackney, London. Initial production was o automatic filling models (?) and gold-plated nib.
Roughly in 1925 was introduced the Platignum brand; at this time it seems there has been a kind of reorganization of the company. It seems that the intention was to use the name Platinum, but that this was not registrable as a trademark since it is the name of a metal, so the name was changed slightly and the Platignum Pen Company was created, that began marketing Platignum branded pens, focusing on the low-end production in comparison to the pens distributed with the main brand.
For some time the two brands were produced together; the Mentmore was transformed into a joint stock company in 1930. The situation at that time is not clear, there are those who reported that the brand Mentmore has been progressively replaced by Platignum, but by the late '30s to the' 50s, there is a large production of pens with this brand . Also a patent of 1936 (nº GB-457212) explicitly shows the name of Spot Pen Company as the new name of Mentmore Manufacturing Company.
Around 1939-1941 (?) was produced the Mentmore Paramount model, an imitation of the Waterman's Hundred Year, it was also a plastic resin lever filler pen, and with a decorative transparent plastic bottom similar to that used by Waterman. The pen, however, had more slender lines. Another imitation is the Mentmore 46, an hooded nib button filler pen, which was clearly inspired by the Parker 51.
