AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A0000003577
BOLÍGRAFO OMAS OGIVA 75 ANIVERSARIO (ITALIA, AÑO 2000): We present at auction a highly special collectible piece from the legendary (and sadly departed) Bologna-based house OMAS. Founded by Armando Simoni in 1925, the brand became the epitome of Italian craftsmanship in writing.
This pen belongs to the classic Ogiva line (characterized by its elegant rounded ends in the shape of an ogive or torpedo). This particular unit was released to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the brand’s founding, as evidenced by the sharp engraving along the barrel: “75 OMAS - SYMBOL OF DISTINCTION - ITALY.”
The instrument is made in OMAS’s historic black “vegetable resin,” famous for its lightness, warm feel, and deep luster. It is complemented by radiant gold-plated details, highlighting the central band engraved with the brand’s iconic geometric greca pattern and the classic clip finished with a small wheel. A genuine emblem of the brand’s golden era, whose closure in 2016 has made these pieces highly coveted.
Condition (Expert Inspection)
The piece is in magnificent aesthetic and mechanical condition:
Resin and Body: The black vegetable resin retains a mirror polish, with no dings, cracks, or bite marks. The 75th Anniversary engraving is deep and perfectly legible.
Metals: The gold plating on the clip, nib, and greca band is gleaming, free of corrosion.
Mechanism: The twisting mechanism operates smoothly and precisely. (Expert note: the buyer may need to install a new refill for long-term use, the lot being sold as a collectible item).
(Dealers are kindly asked to carefully view the photo gallery, as it is an essential part of the piece’s expert description. The item ships without a case).
Shipping
The item will be carefully protected and securely packaged, with insured shipping and international tracking number.
An exquisite opportunity for collectors of the dearly loved OMAS who wish to add such an elegant and representative commemorative edition to their desk! Best of luck to all bidders!
