OMAS EXTRA ARCO BRONZE - COLLEZIONE CELLULOIDE

In 1991 Omas introduced the Collezione Celluloide; it was a glorious comeback to the use of celluloid after more than 20 years of resin.

The line  comprised facetted piston fillers with greek key cap band which were designed drawing inspiration from of the successful lines of Extra  lever fillers of the 1903's.

These pens were aesthetically very similar to the vintage Extras but for the filling mechanism and the nib: models from the 1930's were lever fillers and had 14 ct  single-tone Extra gold nibs, while the new pens were piston fillers with two tone  nibs with the outline of an arrow.

The range of colors comprised: jet black, royal blue, arco bronze, marbled burgundy, saft green, saffron and speckled gray.

The line was produced in three sizes and the packaging used was reminiscent of vintage boxes.

All the pens had the date engraved on the section( from 1991 to 1994).

This pen  is from 1992 and it is in pristine condition. 

The nib is a very pleasant  semiflex EF.
