Astura brand production of the '30s and '40s is extremely varied, with a production oriented towards economic pens with wide distribution, made in numerous variants of finishes, shapes and colors. In the '50s, with the crisis caused by the advent of disposable ballpoint pens, were produced ever cheaper and low quality models. Astura production seems to be terminated in the second half of the 50s, like the Radius one, likely due to the cessation of the activities of the parent company SAFIS, probably take out of the market by the success of the ballpoint pen. But there is no reliable documents or specific details for the cessation of activities.
