Favorite Omas Celluloid...

[Bryant]

Out of the "modern" pens, whats your favorite?

 

It seems Omas is willing to work around with some good LEs and I might have an opportunity for a nice Celluloid Pen. I really want to do one based off the Paragon, and preferably with a celluloid section, but I dont think that will happen. Most likely if I do Paragon, it will be metal section

 

I can always do Milord, but pretty much all the nice celluloid has been used on this size already...

Anyway, I digress... Favorite one. Which is it?

 

I know what mine is...

Bry, you need to hide that nib from GP or else you could be in serious trouble.

Modern Paragon size in green (or blue) with celluloid section? Where do I send the Paypal?

 

Even done in the modern Milord size would work for me. Its size and weight is closer to the "benchmark" M800 for comfort for long writing sessions. The long tapered section provides more varied finger positions than the short sections on vintage pens.

 

A modern Paragon without the metal section would give you a lighter pen with 149/Poseidon thickness. Wow. Combined with beautiful celluloid and the classy AND practical facets and you may very well have the "untimate holy grail greatest pen in the history of the entire known universe". Please leave off the metal trim from the end of the section, though.

Yeah, I know... I think I heard her car start up to come take it after I posted the picture... But then she realized, the pen would be too light for her

Yeah, I would love to do it with out the metal section, but I dont think they will do it. Too much work for how small I wanted to do a run. Now if I did 100+, then I think they may do it...

I like the size of the "new" Milords much better than the Paragons and in particular like the Milord because the section is not metal. Why not the Milord in the Arco Green celluloid? Or better yet, can they do the Arco Green in the "fish scale" pattern like they did for I believe Novelli in Italy? The metal section and huge size of the new Paragon's is a deal killer for me. If the Arco Green is not available, how about the scarlet celluloid in the Milord size--that would be real nice too. Also how about something different that the standard Omas nib, perhaps they have a version with more flex like they used in the 1990 special edition for the World Cup--that would be really cool.

I like the green Bry.

But you should ask youstruckgold as he did just that the other day with a set of seven!!

He has some beautiful colours.

[Ghost Plane]

Car is idling as I've realized I could get my fingers between the threads and section drop, so if I used it posted like I do the Churchills.... :hmm1:

 

Color and trim is right, nib is...awesome , and I like the silver ring at the tail end. Plus I love bigger pens.

 

Just don't do it before later in the year so I'll have the money

[Cliff O]

My favorites: Arco Brown then Scarlet then Blue. And definitely pre-metal section. I hate the newest design.

[ArchiMark]

Great idea, Bry....

 

Here's some suggestions from my ol' OMAS's....not the best pics, but hopefully, you get the idea....

 

The 3 pens on the left are old OMAS Extra Lucens:

Here's two of just the 'marbled' (or wild?) Extra Lucens:

Of the ones that I have owned, without question my favorite Omas celluloid is the saffron blue. Had a old Paragon in it and sold it for some reason. Thankfully have it in a Bologna now. Absolutely beautiful colors that I could never capture with my photographic skills.

Hi Bry!

 

I like the Paragon size, but if it has the metal section, count me out. I don't need gobs of pens laying around, so I have become picky, and one thing I don't like is metal sections.

 

As far a which celluloid, I would be interested in an Arco. The green is nice. But if they produce their own celluloid, why not see if they have anything different? I would love to see something along the lines of the saffron blue, but maybe with more browns, reds and yellows and not the blue. Or maybe a red arco or a blue and gold arco. Too bad we can't just talk them into going back to making old-style Paragons in new colors and patterns of celluloid!

 

Scott.

My first choice..in Paragon or Milord - saffron blue with celluloid section or arctic green with celluloid section.

 

Perhaps 14k Omas nib such as E. E. Ercolessi or Italia '90 - since they give some line variation.

[georges zaslavsky]

It would have to be the extra lucens, the arco and the wilde celluloids in the old 360, in the old and new paragon models.

The Fusion, without doubt! :clap1:

I like greens, blues, and "wild" but a really deep crimson might be interesting.

[lterry]

The Bologna in Saffron Blue...what a beautiful pen...the one missing from my collection. If anyone out there has one to sell, drop me a PM.

 

Now, as for the LE models, Lucens Blue, Royale Blue, or the Green Arco in new Milord style would be my choices.

[youstruckgold]

I think the WIld would be awesome (although the Galilei LE from 1993 fits that bill), I already have the green Arco (which I admit IS gorgeous), but how about a version of this (if the celluloid is still around):

[Kamiyashi]

If you end up commissioning one with that celluloid, I'd be all over that.

[MidnightBlue]

I'd buy that in a blink!!!!!!!!!Thanks.

[Ghost Plane]

I suspect I'd spend so much time staring at it trying to decide if I like it that I'd never put the darned pen down. :embarrassed_smile: Definitely an attention getter.

 

Still lust after your sample. :embarrassed_smile:
