OMAS is the brand that fascinates me the most. I have 10 OMAS fountain pens (eight different celluloid colors and two resins). This is more pens than from any other maker I own (Pelikan with seven pens is next in my collection). While this is a very neat selection, it definitely does not turn me into FPNs greatest OMAS collector.

 

So, who is it? Who has all those OMASes that we have been dreaming about? Who is the OMAS maven on here? If you own up to that status, you might become my favorite FPN member :roflmho:

Alejandro, beautiful pens! :puddle:

 

Do you know who did the lacquer work on the lacquer pen? What is it made of?

 

Also, is the Cinema the same celluloid rod as the standard pearl-grey color?

Hi Dupontfan,

 

Sorry, I have no conclusive answers for your questions.

 

The Blue Lacquer with Gold Brushes (that is the name I found) was made for the Oriental market. I recently saw it advertised as "maki-e", but I do not know if it is the case. It is a big pen (longer than a MB 149), the shape of an Omas Ogiva.

 

I have not seen grey Omas celluloid in person but the few pictures I have seen look exactly like The Cinema, so probably they are made of the same material.

Once upon a time I have quite a bit of Omas, some rare, some not so rare. I have sold off most in attempt to streamline my collection and have more focus. Now I just have a few Omas that I still keep as good writers. But here are some of my Omas at one point. Enjoy the pics:

Bibliotheque,

Is that Bibliotheque discoloring or is it a trick of the light?

and who has the MoMA ?

 

My dream pen , along with the 360 Wild Celluloid .....

 

 

Well I certainly do not qualify as the biggest collector with only 2 OMAS pens, but one is a MoMA. The other is a Autunno Ogiva. MY dream pen is the Bronze Arco Paragon (old style.)

Certainly not me.

 

Only have two - a blue Roma 2000 Giubileo and a black Extra Demonstrator, filled with blue (Waterman Florida Blue) and black (Quink Black) inks respectively. But these are my daily users and both are the only pens that line my shirt pocket, if it's any measure of where they stand in the order of importance and priority.

 

But I really hope to one day procure the Royal Selangor (as the one in Kevin's wonderful pic :puddle: )... I understand it's a very limited edition commissioned by the previous Sultan of the state (of Selangor) where I was born, and currently live in :) ....

Not me!

 

Only 5 little pens from the Celluloid collection live here, and I'm actually not much interested in collecting anything else from Omas. Well, maybe just the Venice Carnivale LE...

It's the lighting. The piston on the pen needs repair, so I sent it to Omas spa in Italy, while there, they also clean out the ink stain around the section.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
