I was shocked to see a 360 in Arco Brown recently sell for $4200.00. A pen that was acquired for $1200.00 just before OMAS went down. Supply and demand will continue to drive the prices up for select OMAS pens and they may become some of the rarest FP one day.

I picked up a Arco Dama about 7 years ago. One of 53 made. So most of the OMAS models in select celluloids were not made in great quantity.

Even is someone somehow revives the name I have read that celluloids like the Arco are gone forever. All their rod stock was purchase by a couple of other penmakers. ASC purchased a lot and even Conid bought a few rods.

This is just my opinion. Great thread!

I KICK myself for not picking up a Paragon with a gold vermeil cap about a year ago! It was about $500 and it just didn't strike me at the right time. I had seen another one earlier and made the stupid mistake of thinking there would be more than a couple.......... Honestly I've made several mistakes.....several........ in building my Omas collection, not by the models but prices paid. Unfortunately I had to make ground quick as it turns out! If only I had another year EDIT: I did pick up a couple nice pens from Jim's collection at great prices though
