OMAS TOKYO
all five colors:
OMAS TOKYO
all five colors:
Those are just so lovely. Why did the Italians go the Way of Bling, when they're capable of making such simple, modernist classics as the Omas Tokyo and the original Aurora 88?
Such lovely orange and green too - what do you call that green? Not bright enough for lime or pistachio and not quite dark enough for olive.
How long did it take you to get the set?
The colors are called:
Persimmon Orange
Lychee Green
Viridian Green
Venetian Blue
Classic Black
During more that ten years I was tempted to buy the one and other pen, but I only bought them now, when I got the unique oportunity to buy them all at the same time.
wrong thread. sorry.

According to some retailers, today is national ballpoint pen day, though it doesn't seem to correspond to the date of Biro's patent.
To mark the occasion, a few accidental acquisitions (parts of sets)
Kaweco-Omas-Waterman.jpg
Kaweco, Omas, Waterman
and a few deliberate ones.

I have had a bit of a purple patch recently,

Then I realised that the seven pens were made in seven different countries.
Applied Pens, Wales
Den's Pens, England
Tombow, Japan
Franklin Christoph, USA
Santini, Italy
Lamy, Germany
Garcia Deschacht, Belgium
Here is my favorite mini collection, my textured Lamy Safaris.

not bad at all!
Parker "51" Specials
Black Jewels, Hoop fillers, Polished caps, Octanium nibs.
Full size Teal and pencil, Demi Grey, Demi Green and pencil.
I'm given to believe the Demis may be rather less than common.
