OMAS was between first Italian companies to move production to celluloid between the late '20s and early '30s. The company produced its fountain pen in classic colors as jade green or lapis blue as well as other interesting variations of marbled colors. Among this early celluloid production some pens stand out, similar to the previous Duofold imitations, but with tapered ends, probably born in the early 30s years with the establishment of the streamlined style; only a few examples of this production are known. The start of production for Minerva branded pens can be traced back more or less to this period. This was the only official Omas sub-brand,[1] dedicated to second tier pens production, that nevertheless were of excellent quality.
- ↑ these are the only pens marketed directly by OMAS, although there are many other productions, often directly derived from Minerva models, known to be made by Omas on behalf of other companies, as the production for Ercolessi, the Saratoga or the Scotland and perhaps also the Nettuno Superba, and double pen models like the Itala and the Zerollo.
