OMAS Château
Lafite Rothschild L.E. |
|
This pen is a joint venture between Rothschild
and OMAS companies. |
|
|
|
Similar in shape and size to the OMAS Krug
LE, the OMAS Lafite Rothschild is also cut from Oak barrel staves.
In this case from the aging barrels of the Rothschild Winery. |
|
|
When first opened from its presentation box, this pen has
the pleasant aroma of a winery.
|
 |
We have little wonder that many hand tools have
oak handles. Wood has a wonderful feel in the hand. It does,
however, stain if ink is allowed to penetrate its surface. See
the Krug that we cleaned here. So it came as a pleaseant
surprise that this pen was coated with an impervious resin,
minimizing such staining.
The cap is completely lined and sealed at the cap lip so that,
with the exception of the place where the clip is inserted,
ink will be easily wiped off. |
|
|

The nib is imprinted with the five arrow logo of Lafite Rothschild.
The silver section is engraved with the words, "GRAND VIN
DE LAFITE ROTHSCHILD" |
