OMAS 361 ARCO - Restored cap lip
Very rare Omas 361 in gray arco celluloid.
The 361 model was first introduced in 1948 and it was one of the most innovative pens of the time as it could offer two writing modes in the same pen. Just by turning the pen you could have a rigid or a flexible nib.
The model was originally offered in jet black, arco brown and arco gray, in three sizes: lady size, standard size and oversize ( marked 381B on the barrel).
The model was initially introduced with white dots on the nib hood. The white dots were later on subsituted with brass dots.
The model was reviewed a number of times to modernize it and make it more suitable to the evolving market. Later models have a torpedo shape and were manufactured both in solid colors and with metal caps. The latest version of the 361 is the model VS, introduced in the 60s.
This early 361 is a standard size but unfortunately it is not in pristine condition. The color of the barrel has changed tone acquiring a greenish shade and the cap lip of the pen has been restored.
It is a good opportunity to acquire a rare pen at a very good price.
