The "Astura" brand was probably born, alongside the brand Radius, with the restructuring and change of name of The King that gives life to SAFIS, and it was dedicated for the production into the economic range.
The production under this brand saw an huge variety of different models made with the most different filling systems and the most varied forms, in a sort of trial both technical and stylistic. There is no known start date for its use, but the trademark was registered by SAFIS in 1936 (Reg. Gen. N. 54056) which in the absence of more precise indications we will also assume to be the year of the production beginning.
