Omas Prototype Fountain Pen?


TKL

Recommended Posts

Thank you for the great information. Would you mind, whenever you have a chance, posting a photo of your no. 13?

 

Also, do you know if other pens in the same model, but with different colors, where ever produced for the Club members?

When the Club was founded I was graduated from few years (I went to University in Bologna, and I started collecting fountain pens there visiting the great shops still existing at that time: Vecchietti and La Stilografica di Germano), and still looking for a decent job. I applyied for the Club at the beginning and I was the 13rd member, but after that they started to make other pens, and I did not had that much money to renew my membership, as the membership included the purchase of the new pen every year...... therefore I quitted.

I do not know how many pens they did for the club and in which colors.

Here is mine, never used:

That's a really nice story, fabri00. I find the three-ring cap band classy and I am a fan of orange pens. I see why this pen is very special to you. Enjoy it in good health and good time!

The detail of the Club logo engraved under the clip is exquisite. But a new pen to be bought each year to renew membership make the Armando Simoni a quite expensive club, uh?

 

Thanks for your story.

      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
