The "Officina Meccanica D. Ceriani" activities, a company based in Sesto Kalends, are originating at least from the 1932,[1] and go up to the 50s. At least in 1939[2], the company becomes the "Fabbrica Penne Stilografiche Cav. D. Ceriani" and Letizia Jacopini reports also the additional designation "Primaria Fabbrica Penne Stilografiche" of Cav. Davide Ceriani.
The company has always been present on the market using a number of different brands name, the first of these, Electa (Reg. Gen. N. 46322), was reserved for the fist tier production. In addition to this brand (with the variant Electa Extras), the other main brand name used by the company was Regina (Reg. Gen. N. 46324). In addition to these were used the Balilla (Reg. Gen. N. 46323, confirmed by a 1931/32 advertising), Gloria (Reg. Gen. N. 60704), and Topolino (Reg. Gen. N. 49345) brands for the lower-end production.
The initial production models included gold rolled overlay models, safety models and Duofold style flat top pens as much of the Italian production of that period. In subsequent years, the style continued to follow the general trends of the Italian market, with streamlined pens in Doric (or Omas Extra) style equipped with wheel clips.
