Mont Blanc
Pens and Ephemera

Check out our first coral Montblanc 204 fountain pen! Click the headline for close-ups! From its button-filler to its stub-like 14k gold nib, there is so much to explore. We restored this vintage pen with a new ink sac. The cap and barrel show a little wear from use. The clip has some brassing, and there are a couple little blemishes in the cap band. The nib looks like new, but the stub-ish point on the nib looks stunning. Surprisingly enough, the nib writes a mostly fine line with a shade of line variation. However, it has just enough give in it to get a nice, thick 1mm line out of it. It is a firm nib, so go easy on it until you get the hang of it.

Nearly identical to its brother, the Montblanc 146, the Montblanc 147 Traveler is virtually the same in design and size. However, unlike a 146, this pen is a cartridge-only filler. The 146 only fills with a piston. Our Montblanc 147 only fills with cartridges on that little converter. You can see the cartridge carriage is removed from the barrel to showcase how it works. You will write a nice medium line with its two-tone 14k gold nib! Minimal wear and it still has a sticker showcasing that the nib is a medium point. Aside from a little blue ink on the nib, we think this pen could be new old stock. Too bad we don't have the original Traveler leather case. Click the headline for close-ups. 14.5cm capped.

Montblanc Starwalker pens broke the luxury pen company's usual mold for daily use pens. We especially love these rubberized models with platinum plated trim. Our preowned pen still looks almost new and feels fresh, without any tackiness to the feel. The only possible flaw to the pen is the engraved "M. Olson" on the pocket clip. We installed a brand-new rollerball refill in blue. One great feature to this pen is that the pocket clip also screws on to the tail to minimize wear. 14cm capped.

When it comes to Montblanc 149 fountain pens, this preowned luxury pen has what most collectors love: a split ebonite feed and two-tone 14k gold nib. Its piston-filler is nice and smooth. This one does not have the brass threads under the blind cap. No cracks nor brassing. There is some light wear from use but no deep scars. You will write a very nice fine line with its gold nib. This is the big oversized flagship pen of Montblanc. Works great click the headline for close-ups. 14.8cm capped.

There's nothing like a little scandal to get a pen collector's heart aflutter. This ballpoint version of the Writer's Series Montblanc Alexandre Dumas has the wrong autograph! A mistake at the factory Alexandre's son's autograph on the pen. Given they had the same name, it was an honest mistake. Nevertheless, Montblanc recalled these pens to be replaced with the correct signature. This one, clearly, never got back into Montblanc's hands. It is in great shape, too, with only light wear from use. Twist the tail cap to extend or retract the ballpoint refill. Our refill works and writes a nice blue line. Pen is numbered 08664 of 16000. 13cm.

Advertising pens don't usually make their way on to our website. However, we think this is an exception you will love! Our hard-to-find Montblanc 334 1/2 fountain pen features the company logo on the top of the cap (instead of the usual Montblanc logo) along with the company name on the side of the cap: Hamburg-Sudamerikanishe Dampfschifffahrts-Gesellschaft. For those who don't speak German, the "Hamburg-South America Steamship Company." We aren't certain, but we think this pen is from the early 1950s. From the collection of a dedicated Montblanc enthusiast, this pen was restored a few years ago and still works well. It has wear and brassing from use but no cracks. The underside of the barrel looks as if it might have a crack, but the barrel is smooth and holds ink well. You will write a buttery smooth line with its 14k STUB NIB. Extra-fine to about 1mm wide!

We love it when modern pencils go for a vintage look. To celebrate the company's 100th anniversary, the Montblanc 100 Anniversary pencils were designed to look like old-fashioned "safety" pens that were similar to the earliest Mont Blanc pens. This ballpoint pen saw little use and has minimal wear. Numbered 04053 of 10000, our preowned pencil remains in excellent working order. We believe this pencil to use .7mm leads. It has some spares in the tail along with a barely used, still-fresh eraser. 12.8cm.
