AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Rare vintage OMAS "Omasfera" faceted ballpoint pen in precious flamed resin – Made in Italy
An elegant vintage specimen from the historic Bologna-based company OMAS (Officina Meccanica Armandi Simoni), model Omasfera.
The pen represents a piece of Italian design and writing history from the second half of the 20th century, combining an unfailing geometric silhouette with material research.
The pen body stands out for a splendid "fiammata" coloration, characterized by three-dimensional veining that catches and reflects light, making this artifact a unique piece, unlike any other in the same line.
Details of authenticity and aesthetics:
• Engraving on the body: It bears the official factory inscription "OMASFERA", with the iconic diagonally slanted "S", the line's trademark.
• Finishes: Glossy gold-plated details and clip (with the classic Omas clip, featuring the classic curvature).
• Material: Precious flamed resin or celluloid, warm to the touch and extremely light, in keeping with the very high standards that made Armando Simoni famous worldwide.
Condition: Excellent vintage condition. The body retains its original shine, with no cracks or structural defects. The gold finishes retain a beautiful vintage patina. The internal refill compatible with Omas/Parker is new.
