It is also known for the production of pens with high quality [[overlay]] in rolled gold metal or silver, which were also used by other manufacturers for their models.

Also in the '30s in the United States was present with the [[Norma]] brand  the company ''Norma Multicolor, Inc., New York, NY'', also producing mechanical pencils. It remained active until [[1967]]. In the '50s it produced models made ​​entirely of metal. Sometime ''Norma Multicolor'' is indicated as another [[Fend]] branch, but it seems more likely to be a completely different company.
