Superb 4 colour ballpoint by Goldfink c.1950s




A super Goldfink ballpoint with 4 colours, red, blue, black and green. In perfect working condition and in NM condition. Goldfink did not actually manufacture their own pens and many were made by Tropen or Fend among other companies. This pen was clearly made by Fend as can be evidenced by the fact the pocketclip still has the "F" on it, being the Fend imprint. So this is basically a Fend pen that was later modified with Goldfink imprint on the barrel and then marketed as a Goldfink. This is typical of the metal pens most of which appear to have been made by Fend (market leaders in metal and overlay pens at the time) for Goldfink.
Looking for £50 plus shipping.

1930s GOLDFINK 21M, NM 1930s BHR Button Filler from Berlin !!




A superb example of a black hard rubber button filler from Goldfink of Berlin dated c. 1936.

Lots of nice details from the trademark Goldfink hexagonal clip screw to the multiple crisp imprints on the barrel, cap and pocket clip. Barrel imprint states "Fullfeder Industrie Goldfink Berlin W8 Friedrichstr.74 Gestlich Geschutzt". No signs of brassing on pocket clip or cap bands. Fitted with a nice responsive Swan No 3 nib also from 1936 (I know this as it came from a Swan Visofil).

In perfect cosmetic and mechanical condition and fitted with a new ink sac.

 Looking for 160 euros plus shipping
