A Fairly Complete Omas 360 Collection...


Alberto

Recommended Posts

Thank you everyone!

 

Funny thing is, there are always new Ltd Ed for one store or another which keep cropping up that I was not aware of... so the fun of assembling this collection continues!!! :-)

 

A more recent post on the state of the collection is here: https://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/topic/329856-sigh-finally-all-omas-360s/?do=findComment&comment=3954309

I have omas 360s....imagination, white, 4 colours of mezzo, blue celluloid and the best for me...the lucens silver and vermail. But...the last two have started to cristallize. Someone knows strategy to stop the process? Thank you

I have not found a way to stop the deterioration of the celluloid Omas pens.

As jchch1950 wrote, above; but what I remember from previous threads on this subject is this (and it's important!): do not store those deteriorating pens with the rest of your collection!  They are slowly "out-gassing" and the vapour will possibly affect your other pens.

 

I have never been brave enough to buy any that are made of that type of celluloid.

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth

      There is still chemistry for processing regular chrome (positive) films like Kodak Ektachrome and Fuji Velvia, but Kodachrome was a completely different and multistep beast.

      Ah, but how to get it processed - that is the question. I believe that the last machine able to run K-14 (Kodachrome processing) ceased to operate some 15 or so years ago. Perhaps the film will be worth something as a curiosity in my estate sale when I die. 😺

      Take a lot of photos!   If the film has deteriorated or 'gone off' in any way, you can use that as a 'feature' to take 'arty' pictures - whether of landmarks, or people, or whatever.
