OMAS CELLULOID SAFT GREEN (Old Style)
 

If you are interested in one of these pens, pleased let us know as we occasionally can find one and keep a list.

This is the OMAS Saft Green celluloid fountain pen with gold fill trim. The color is reminiscent of the Wahl Eversharp Doric, "Kashmir Green from Persia," 1931. The light pearl green color contrasts with the dark veins against the deep green and depending on the angle that you hold the pen, the colors shift in intensity. Although not as bronzy as the Moss Agate plastic that Waterman's initiated in the late 20s, this material shows larger patterns of pearl reflectiveness. We believe the pearlescence is achieved by flaking mother of pearl and adding it to the celluloid mix in its liquid state, as it was done originally.

 

This is a cap band detail of the Saft Green gold trim. If the Green Arco (Arctic Green) was the OMAS idea of a "cool" green, then this was the "warm" one. Because these pens are have been long out of production they are very hard to find anywhere.

"The Omas Celluloid Saft Green fountain pen arrived this afternoon in perfect condition. What a gem it is! One could easily regard this writing instrument as a piece of very fine jewelry, the colors are so rich and blend beautifully and the structure is superb. I am awaiting a supply of Omas ink from Ink Palette so as yet I have not filled the pen but I have briefly dipped the nib to test it out and it's performance can be described as unequalled..... Of course you may use my correspondence for your web site; I would be honored and thank you for considering me.... David" (Wright, 4/16/03)
