Thanks very much for looking at our listing for this OMAS Bologna Black and Gold Celluloid Fountain Pen, which comes with its OMAS presentation box (including outer) and unstamped information booklets. The pen has been carefully used and is presented in overall excellent condition.
OMAS require no introduction and since their sad demise in January 2016, the hunger from fans and collectors for great examples of their writing instruments has increased dramatically! The company was founded by Armando Simoni and the full name was Officina Meccanica Armando Simoni, abbreviated to OMAS.
The Bologna Celluloid collection were introduced to celebrate the brands 80th anniversary. It was the first line of pens to mention the name of the city where OMAS was launched.
The barrel and cap are crafted from wonderful Black and Gold celluloid, which features myriad of tones. The trim is gold-plated. The metal section provides a little extra weight, which makes this a very well balanced pen.
The pen is fitted with a 14k fine nib and it’s a piston filler, so your choice here is bottled ink.
The important details are as follows…
Condition: Excellent
Box: OMAS
Nib: Fine
With every pen that we sell we provide a card that includes the manufacturer, model, serial / limitation number and date it was purchased from us. We do this because our customers like to have documentation showing that it’s been purchased from a trusted seller. As the Financial Times said recently in their How To Spend It publication – “izods is an e-cache of ultra fine fountain pens”.
