Pre-Owned Pens

Fill in your Montblanc Writer's Series with the year 2000's entry, the Montblanc Friedrich Schiller. More famous in Germany than the rest of the world, Schiller was a playwright who focused his themes around freedom. His best known play is "William Tell," the overture of which is more famous than the play. Pen collectors of a certain age know the overture as the theme song to "The Long Ranger." Our preowned luxury pen is number 7377 of 18000. Guaranteed authentic from a dedicated MB collector, this pen comes with its original booklet but no box. Only a couple of traces of minor wear. You will write a smooth medium line with its 18k gold nib. Click the headline for close-ups. This pen's filling system remains a smooth operating device. 13.4cm capped.

Playwright George Bernard Shaw gets his due with this exquisite Montblanc Writers' Series ballpiont pen.

Our limited edition pen is preowned and gently used. It has only the lightest of wear with no dents, deep scratches or other significant blemishes. Twist the tail cap to advance and retract the working blue refill. Guaranteed authentic. Numbered 07770 of 18000. 13.5cm.

Franz Kafka wrote surrealist fiction with stories such as "The Metamorphosis." Montblanc added Kafka to its Writer's Series in 2004. We love the deep-red celluloid of the cap and barrel. The sterling silver trim is really nice, too. Our preowned luxury pen is in excellent condition with minimal wear. Twist the tail cap of the pen to advance and retreat the working black refill. Guaranteed authentic. 14.5cm.

We fell in love with the malachite cap on this limited edition Montblanc Czar Nikolai II the minute we laid eyes on it. Such beautiful contrast, too, with the vermeil barrel and accents. Our preowned luxury pen is in excellent condition with only the lightest traces of wear. Its piston operates smoothly. It has its serial number and "metal2" on the clip band. Guaranteed authentic from a dedicated collector. You will write a nice fine line with a little feedback. Click the headline for close ups. This is the larger LeGrand size model. 14.2cm capped.

We've been lucky to get any number of these big boys into the shop lately. Here it is, the boss of the boardroom, the Montblanc 149. It is the world's most recognizable luxury pen. Our pen is in excellent condition, with a smooth working piston filler. Its only significant flaws are some scratches on the black dome with the logo. No cracks. Light wear from use, otherwise. We can send photos of the scratches, if you like. Our favorite part about this pen is its big, fat, smooth tri-tone 18k gold nib that writes a broad line. An excellent signature pen and daily writer for those who are bold writers. There is a serial number in the cap band, "Pix" under the clip and a threaded brass bit under the blind cap. 14.7cm capped.

Everyone talks about the Montblanc 149 as being the uber-pen of the boardroom, but we love the Montblanc 146 size better. This is still a large pen, by most measures, but it fits the hand much more comfortably. The piston filler operates very smoothly. Smoother still is its two-tone 14k gold nib. You will write a buttery smooth medium line with just a touch of line variation. Almost a stub but not quite. A lovely writer. No cracks or substantial wear. Comes from a dedicated Montblanc collector. There is a serial number in the cap band but no Pix under the clip. Guaranteed authentic. 14.6cm 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.

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.
