In addition to this brand (with the variant ''Electa Extras''), the other main brand name used by the company was  ''[[Regina]]'' ({{Marchio|46324}}). In addition to these were used the  ''[[Balilla]]'' ({{Marchio|46323}}, confirmed by a 1931/32 advertising),  ''[[Gloria]]'' ({{Marchio|60704}}), and ''Topolino'' ({{Marchio|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.
