OMAS 555/S GRAY PEARL CELLULOID - VERY PLEASANT NIB

In 1948 Omas introduced the Extra 55X line which comprised ogiva and facetted piston fillers in three sizes: 555 (lady), 556(senior) and 557 ( oversize).
The "S" suffix was used for cylindrical pens ( S: Semplice), while facetted pens were identified with the "F" suffix ( F: Facetted).
Colors were black, gray pearl and tortoise brown.
The Extra 556/s was one of the most successful models ever. It was the perfect pen, slender and light to use; it could perfectly fit female and small male hands.
The smaller 555/s was the ideal pen for female hands and suitable to be carried in a small purse. The large 557 oversize models was named simply Extra without model number in the engraving on the barrel:
This Omas 555/S in gray celluloid is in excellent condition and it is fitted with a very flexible F nib which is extremely pleasant to use.
The cap is enriched with the typical oval customisation which was used by Omas official retailers to advertise their activity.
