Mont Blanc
Pens and Ephemera

The writing instrument maker for kings dedicates one of its finest pencils to one of the all-time greatest kings: Ramses II. Made using lapis lazuli mined from the same mine Egyptian pharaohs used, the Montblanc Ramses II is a functional work of art. Aside from a little scuff on the vermeil barrel (gold-plated sterling silver), this pen looks close to new. Twist the lapis cap to the right a little to extend the .7mm lead. Everything works well, and there are spare leads loaded inside the pencil. The eraser still works, too. Guaranteed authentic. 14cm capped.

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.

What are the most desirable features on a Montblanc 149 fountain pen that connoisseurs love most? 14k gold nibs and a split ebonite feed! That is exactly what our preowned luxury pen sports. The one feature it doesn't have is the brass piston fitting under the blind cap. Our pen was made during that brief window after German unification where the clip band had the word Germany but no serial number. In excellent working order, the piston fills the pen nicely. You will write an extra-fine line with its two-tone 14k gold nib. There's a little feed back from its firmness. No cracks. No brassing. Light wear from use.

Composer, conductor and pianist Johannes Brahms was one of the great romantics of classical music. This renowned German artist gets his due in this limited edition pen by Montblanc. Part of Montblanc's Donation Pen series, the Montblanc Brahms comes as a complete box set that includes a tuning fork and booklet. Our preowned luxury pen looks like new, and likely was only written with once given the minimal ink on its extra-fine, rhodium-plated 14k gold nib. Click the headline for close-ups. Guaranteed authentic.

We have often pondered if the "Great Characters" series by Montblanc was a slightly derisive title for a series of pens based on real people and not fictional characters in a book or movie. However, I think most people would define Andy Warhol as one of the great characters of pop culture, no matter how you define it. Our Montblanc Andy Warhol rollerball pen is in like-new condition and complete with all of its original boxes and papers. Featured on the cap are Warhol's famous Campbell's soup cans. This pen comes with a working blue refill. Not all the boxes are featured in this image.

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.
