Mont Blanc
Pens and Ephemera

We love it when modern pens go for a vintage pen look. To celebrate the company's 100th anniversary, the Montblanc 100 Anniversary pens were designed to look like old-fashioned "safety" pens that were similar to the earliest Mont Blanc pens. This ballpoint pen saw a little use and has some light wear...minor scuffs and shallow scratches. Numbered 24398 of 45000, our preowned pen remains in excellent working order. You get a working blue ballpoint refill loaded in the pen. 12.8cm.

We don't normally get so lucky as to have vintage Montblanc pens, but we are very excited to present this Montblanc 234 1/2 G. We think it is from the 1940s, but we aren't certain. This pen was restored about 10 years ago by Montblanc super star Osman Sumer. The piston is still working well, though a little stiff. On the down side, you can see the tail of this barrel has some strange discoloration and possible weakness.. On the plus side, it has a factory oblique double broad nib! The nib matches the marking on the blind cap. Made of 14k gold, this left-foot oblique writes a very juicy line with some nice line variation. It takes a little while to get used to it and find its sweet spot, but it is a blast to write with. No cracks or deep scratches. Click the headline for close-ups. 12.5cm capped.

Among our favorite Montblanc designs is the Montblanc Czar Nikolai II. The stunning malachite green and vermeil look fantastic together. Part of a limited edition series, this brings incredible elegance to luxury pencils. For those not familiar with vermeil, it means the pen is made of solid sterling silver and plated with gold. Our pen has serial number KM203324. We guarantee the pencil is authentic. Twist the tail cap to advance its .7mm lead. Comes with a partially used eraser and spare leads inside the pencil. No cracks or deep scratches. However, it does have a little very light scratching and wear to the vermeil barrel. 14cm.

We polished the daylights out of this brass-topped Montblanc inkwell, and it really looks stunning. The well, itself, is hand-cut leaded crystal. It comes with a base that still looks sharp and is free of initials. An ideal way to dress up your desk with class and professional aplomb.

Montblanc LeGrand "Document Markers" are somewhat hard to find, but ones in the discontinued "Bordeaux" color are even more difficult to find. Aside from a little light wear from use, our preowned luxury writing instrument looks pretty amazing. This one comes with a working highlighter refill. Guaranteed authentic, this one was made after the invention of serial numbers on the pocket clip band but before "Pix" was written under the cap band. We love these slightly larger sized LeGrands that don't yet cross over into oversized territory. 14.5cm capped.

NEW OLD STOCK! The Sun King of France is honored by Montblanc with this fabulous Montblanc Patron of the Arts Louis XIV fountain pen. Still sealed in its original plastic, our golden pen comes complete with all of its boxes. An absolute must for Montblanc collectors and Francophiles. Responsible for the art and elegance of the French enlightenment, King Louis XIV was behind the development of Versailles and the palatial Opera Garnier in Paris. He also waged wars to expand France's borders and was known for his lovers. The carefully engraved Montblanc pen is a fitting tribute to the Sun King's cultural renaissance in France.

Few pens look as truly regal as the Montblanc Prince Regent limited edition pen. The golden filigree over a large blue cap and barrel is just so stately and refined. A true preowned luxury pen. However, unlike most preowned luxury pens, this pen is New Old Stock and still sealed in its original protective bag! Obviously, it comes with all of its original boxes and papers. Oddly enough, the wooden box is missing one of its four felt pads at the corners. The enclosed booklet has a tiny dog ear at the tippy-top of a corner. Nevertheless, this pen is completely original and unused! A must for any serious Montblanc collector.

Russia's great empress Catherine the Great gets her due from the Montblanc Patron of the Arts with this sumptuous luxury pen. One of only 4,810 pens, you can see this one is still sealed in its original plastic. The pen comes complete with all of its boxes and papers. Guaranteed authentic. For those who look to use it, it comes with a solid gold medium nib. Perfect for use or a museum-worthy collection.
