"Emegê" model - for the Portuguese market

"Emegê" imprint was engraved on the fountain pens sold by Monteiro Guimarães Filho Lda, the Günter Wagner’s licensed Portuguese distributor (Fountainpen.it)¹⁾. Reportedly, this was done as the company wanted to give full warranty to only pens they imported and sold. But, it may be more reasonable to think of commercial reasons and promotion of its own brand (Pelikan-collectibles)Most of "Emegê" pens were thought to be sold in Portugal. But, the company was the exclusive distributor for Portugal, Spain, Brazil and other Portuguese colonies in Africa, and the legal representative of Pelikan in those countries. So these pens may have been sold in these countries (Fountainpen.it). "Emegê" model was on the market from 1935 to the end of WWII (Fountainpen.it). However, there exist postwar "Emegê" pens.

The most famous "Emegê" pens would be Pelikan Magnum. Initially, Pelikan Magnum had Pelikan logo and the markings “Pelikan-Emegê (Emegê in block letter)” on the cap top. In the following version, "Emegê (in cursive letter)" markings were made either on the cap tube or the sleeve. In 1935-36, there were a good number of them made, most of which were sold in Portugal. For more information, please see Pelikan Magnum.

Also produced were Emegê pens for model 100 family (please see below). 

Note;⁽¹⁾In Portuguese, the initials of Monteiro Guimarães was EME (M) and (G), phonetically.
