The Desk (part iv - the 360s +)

Drawer number 4 is heavily slanted towards my Omas 360s. This pen, for the uninitiated, is a triangular-bodied pen that was originally designed with ergonomics in mind; that is, it was designed to be held.....and held......and held.
This is the 360s outside of the drawer :)

My first, a magnum, measures 15cm closed, I bought many years ago. The 360 went through an unfortunate incarnation where it stopped being ergonomic and went for style (failed) but thankfully returned to the original shape. I don't think they make the Magnum anymore, but the standard size is still around 14.5cm. Now to drawer 4...



I DID say 360+! From left we have the Arte Italiana Art Déco Pearl Grey Cotton Resin Limited Edition Fountain Pen (#25/931); an Omas MOMA; two Omas Ogivas S2001; and then the 360s. First the Magnum; then a blue cotton resin LE with rose gold trim (#201/360); a white traveller (only 13.5cm; and a cartridge filler with a cool mechanism where you turn the base and the cartridge holder slides out (see below); a Lucens (blue - yes I know, fairly obvious); a Red LE with silver trim (#149/360) and a grey celluloid.



Still more drawers to come!...
