OMAS EXTRA OGIVA GRAY PEARL CELLULOID - 1940'S

The Omas Extra Ogiva piston filler was introduced in1948 and remained in production for a very short span of time.

It was an innovative model but it was soon replaced by the 55X series, very similar in design but with a more slender look. The two lines, the Extra Ogiva and the 55X are actually very similar.

Omas Ogiva Extras were manufactured in three sizes, lady, standard and oversize, which is extremely rare in colorful celluloid.

The colors of the Extra Ogiva are: gray pearl celluloid, tortoise brown, caramel brown and black. A very few extremely rare pieces in blue celluloid are known to exist but they have been spotted in collections only in the smaller, ladysize version.
