It does not come from a fountain pens manufacturer, instead the production was contracted to third parties by a large chain of stores selling stationery, headquartered in Berlin Friedrichstrasse 77, one of the main streets of downtown. | | The [[Goldfink]] brand remained on the market around from 10s to 60s.

| The earliest production consists of [[safety]] models of excellent quality comparable to the [[Montblanc]] one. In the 30s a catalog allows to have references to a series of models: ''Wunderfüller ', characterized by a particular [[button filler]], in which the latter was operated by the rotation of the pad; ''Standard'' (''Sechskantkopf'') a [[safety]] filler with octagonal shaped head and cap; ''Alexander'', a [[safety]] with rounded ends in the common German style; ''Liebling'', a [[button filler]], ''Druckfüller'' a [[button filler]]. Besides these, the company was producing luxury models with precious metals (silver and solid gold) [[overlay]]s, and mechanical pencils. | | The earliest production consists of [[safety]] models of excellent quality comparable to the [[Montblanc]] one.

| The [[Goldfink]], who opened up to seven stores in Berlin, had its heyday in the '30s, in the heyday of the German capital, becoming one of the leading German stationery manufacturers; regarding the pens production those were made by the various third parties: from ''[[Melbi]]'' of Odenwald, from ''Columbus'' of Fürth and from ''[[Fend]]'' of Pforzheim. In this period there was the creation of the ''Doppeltank'' system, a double ink reservoir. After the war, with the division of Germany and the loss of importance of the capital, the company also suffered a decline, although the shop [[Goldfink]] stood still in business. The brand has recently been brought back to life for a production of handcrafted pens. | | The [[Goldfink]], who opened up to seven stores in Berlin, had its heyday in the '30s, in the heyday of the German capital, becoming one of the leading German stationery manufacturers; regarding the pens production those were made by the various third parties: from ''[[Melbi]]'' of Odenwald, from ''Columbus'' of Fürth and from ''[[Fend]]'' of Pforzheim.
