Pre-Owned Pens

One of only 3,000 fountain pens, our gently used Montblanc Gandhi is part of the Great Characters series. As it hasn't its original box and papers, we had it authenticated by Montblanc to guarantee that it is genuine. Numbered 1007 of 3000, this mighty pen pays tribute to India's political and spiritual leader Mahatma Gandhi. The sterling silver ends of the pen represent Gandhi's spinning cotton into thread. The piston filler turns smoothly. You will write a very smooth medium line with the rhodium-plated 18k gold nib. Includes the letter of authentication. Light wear from use.

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.

For those who look to use it, it comes with a solid gold medium nib. Perfect for use or a museum-worthy collection.

Factory sealed and never used, behold the Montblanc Peter the Great fountain pen from the Patron of the Arts limited edition series. The green and gold is stunning on this luxury pen. Should you wish to be the first to write with it, it comes with a solid-gold, medium-point nib. The pen comes complete with its original boxes and papers. We love the green finish on the wooden presentation box. A great design attribute of czarist Russia. Only the outer cardboard boxes show any trace of wear. Perfect for both daily use or a museum piece.

"When Madame Pompadour was on the ballroom floor, said all the gentleman obviously, 'The lady has a well developed...personality.'" More than the bawdy lyrics sung by Dorothy Lamour in the Hope & Crosby "Road to Utopia," the real Marquise de Pompadour was the extremely clever mistress and confidant of France's King Louis XV. Her mastery of court intrigue and support of the arts remains unparalleled. In 2001 the world's top luxury brand paid homage to her with the Mont Blanc Patron of the Arts Marquise de Pompadour limited edition pens. Exquisitely designed, Mont Blanc paired with the porcelain artists at Meissen to create this pen. Click the headline for close-ups. Guaranteed authentic, our's comes complete with papers and boxes--there is a chip on the back of the wooden box. Amazingly, it was actually used. We have cleaned and flushed the pen, which works great, but there is light surface wear on the barrel with some lightly rubbed in wear spots on the piston blind cap.
