Description:
1940s Osmia 64. These Osmia pens are fascinating artifacts of German pendom at its wartime nadir. The celluloid caps have incised bands, the metal clips are bare bones stamped metal, the patterning on the celluloid inkwindows is crude compared to earlier and later Osmias. Still the fine and extra fine #4 nibs are properly tipped, write well and have decent flex. A wartime artifact that writes.
$75.00 each while they last.
