OMAS Rollerball Pen Extra 50th Anniversary Limited Edition Vintage Green \'90The description of this item has been automatically translated. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.
There are pens that are used and pens that tell the story. This OMAS Extra belongs to the second category. In 1995 the historic Bolognese manufacturer celebrated fifty years of FAO with an official commemorative edition, today among the most sought after by collectors of the brand. The clip reproduces the ear of wheat of the FAO emblem and was designed by the famous sculptor Giรฒ Pomodoro. The intense green of the resin recalls wheat fields and was chosen as a symbol of peace and solidarity between peoples. The twelve-sided faceted body takes up the legendary line of the OMAS Extra. On the screw cap the golden ring is engraved with the dates 1945 FAO 1995, the seal of an anniversary that made history. While the fountain pen from this series can still be found with a certain ease, the rollerball version is decidedly rare, an opportunity for those who want to complete the collection or own a piece that few have. The writing instrument is ready to use with a new refill and is accompanied by a genuine leather OMAS pen holder.

๐๏ธ An era of ink and genius: On 16 October 1945, as the world was emerging from war, FAO was born with an ambitious mission: to free humanity from hunger. Fifty years later, in 1995, the Rome-based Organization chose OMAS for its official pen. The Bolognese house was founded in 1925 by Armando Simoni, and his multifaceted Extra, born in 1932, was already an icon of Italian writing. For the occasion, OMAS reinterpreted the twelve-sided shape in green resin. The encounter with the art of Giรฒ Pomodoro, master of contemporary sculpture, transformed the clip into an ear of wheat. The result is an object that combines craftsmanship, art and historical memory.
