'Ein himmlisches Märchen' is an advertising booklet of the Tintenkuli Handels GmbH Altona (Elbe), published in the early to mid-1930s. The booklet has a format of about 9 by 12 cm, comprises 16 pages including cover and additionally contains a four-page insert with thank-you letters. The humorous frame story describes how the office secretary Albert Lingenbring stands in his dream before Saint Peter, whose fountain pen blots while filling out the admission application, after which Lingenbring proudly shows his inkpen and explains its merits. Central product features are advertised: the writing tip consists of iridium and platinum; filling is done by dipping in the ink and pressing a filler button; the pen is then filled for weeks. The price was 6.50 marks, payable also in two monthly instalments, with one week's free trial period and three years' unrestricted warranty. The inkpen was distributed exclusively directly by the firm in Altona to exclude middlemen and imitations. On the enclosed order card the postage was 3 pfennigs if only the quantity was entered; with additional handwritten additions the postage rose to 6 pfennigs.
