    Is the last one a Conid in a Tibaldi celluloid?

    And why, ffs, isn't this in the "For Sale" forum?????

    The Pelikans are celluloid material? That brown tortoise looking one seems to be either a 400N or 400NN, third one looks more like a 140. But didn't think either models 50s onward were celluloid (though noticed the title within the thread says acetates).

    If that's a 90s+ Omas, then that's going to be Cotton Resin, always has a lovely almost iridescent look under certain lighting.

    The first one looks similar to a Wasp I once had.

    Speaking of colorful celluloids...
