Belle stilo, però la Four-Way è americana.

 

At least two or three books state that the Chameleon Four-Way is Italian, or even that it was an OMAS product. This is mistaken. This particular pen came out of the US Midwest -- Chicago, I believe.

Hi David,

I found the four way here in Italy many years ago

and suspected taht was an american production because the clip,

but honestly never searched any info, so thanks for update.

These are really neat! I am now officially intrigued by double-ended pens. I didn't even know such a thing existed until QM2 posted a review of the Varuna double-ended pen over in the Fountain Pen Reviews forum recently.

Yes -- too long!

I don't get to as many pen shows as I once did, and missing my pen friends is the worst part of it.

I wonder if a number of these pens did make their way to Italy at some point. We all still have much to discover about these objects . . . .
