| Omas Paragon Snake Wood Fountain Pen |
||
 |
||
| This full Paragon size pen (5
5/8", capped) is the one many of us are familiar with in
both vegital resin and celuloid. Now Omas is producing a series
of wood pens. They have the advantage finger friendliness of
wood. It is a material that is fun to hold. Combine this with
the Sterling silver metal section, clip and rings and we have
a sensuous and practical pen. |
||
 |
||
| Omas has solved a problem that
plagued their wood pens in the past. Because wood is an organic
material that shrinks and expands with changes in humidity,
it was vulnerable to cracking, especially at the cap lip and
at the edge of the barrel. This new pen is banded at the cap
lip and secured at the barrel edge, greatly minimizing this
possibility. Although snake is a very hard and dense wood and
is finished with a varnish, care must be taken with all wood
pens to avoid staining them with ink. |

 The section is stamped "925" followed by a hallmark showing a star, "144" and "BO", all indicating a sterling silver casting. Notice the elegant transition between the wooden barrel and the gripping section. As with all polished metallic surfaces, this one will mar if not handled carefully. |
|
| The silver clip on this pen is
simplified to a basic shape. The overall effect of the 12 sided
barrel and cap along with the subtle taper of this pen, make
this an elegant statement. |
