Pre-Owned Pens

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.

Limited...but not "limited edition"...our Montblanc Classique in stainless steel is a great ballpoint pen for someone looking for a more durable Montblanc that stands out a little better. Only made for a year or two, these steel Montblancs should have become regular issue. Just a little heavier than its "precious resin" brethren, it has a nice sensation while writing. It comes with a working, black Montblanc refill. The pen has some small scratches from use but no major dents. How do describe the scratches? Not bad at all if you intend to use it daily. Bad enough to drive a museum-piece collector crazy. Guaranteed authentic. 13.7cm.

It isn't Halloween without Hitchcock. Inventor of the modern horror movie, Alfred Hitchcock realized suspense was critical to the fiendish plots of some of his most famous films such as "Psycho," "The Birds," "Rear Window" and "Vertigo." In 2011, Montblanc payed homage to the cinematic genius with its Montblanc Great Characters Alfred Hitchcock fountain pen. Ours is NEW OLD STOCK and never used. You can still see the tape preserving the silver section of the pen. We love the iconography of the stainless steel kitchen knife from "Psycho" as the pocket clip and the spiral design of the cap and barrel from "Vertigo." Aside from the clip, the rest of the trim is solid sterling silver. Comes complete with all of its boxes and papers. Guaranteed authentic. #2848 of only 3,000.

An unofficially limited edition Montblanc LeGrand, this stainless steel version was only made for a short while. It is too bad they don't make them still. They are a lot more durable than the standard issue "precious resin" models. Our pen is in excellent working order with only light wear from use. No dents but some light scratches and wear. Guaranteed authentic from a dedicated Montblanc collector. This preowned pen is a surprisingly light weight pen for a steel pen. You will write a wet, smooth medium line with its 18k gold nib. 14.7cm capped.

The number one complaint about your average Montblanc pen is that it breaks too easily. That is not nearly as big a concern with the stainless steel Mont Blanc Classique rollerball pen. Not officially a limited edition, they only made these pens for a few years. Ours come with its original boxes and papers. Gently used, there are no dents, but there are a few small scratches and traces of wear. Guaranteed authentic, we acquired this from a dedicated Montblanc collector. It comes with a working brown rollerball refill and a spare, brand-new "Nightfire Red" rollerball refill. 13.6cm capped.

With only 3,000 issued around the world, the limited edition Montblanc Leonardo is a highly sought prize for many collectors. Ours is number 2002 of 3000. It comes with its boxes and booklets. The preowned fountain pen appears to have been used once with orange ink. We flushed it out, and the rest of the pen looks like-new. Click the headline for close-ups. Unfortunately, the outer box features a big tear. You can see it in the top right corner of the photo. The inner box is in great shape, except a little nick on the leading top edge. Guaranteed authentic. Its rhodium plated nib is a medium. A handsome tribute to Leonardo DaVinci. Mona Lisa not included. The Louvre is stingy with that one. LOL.

For its limited edition Donation Series of pens, the Montblanc Johann Strauss pays tribute to the composer of the "Blue Danube" waltz and the classic operetta "Die Fledermaus." These elements are represented by the violin bow pocket clip and an adorable bat on the nib. Click the headline for close-ups. This is a new-old stock preowned pen that has never been used. The nib sticker is still on the barrel of the pen. Also include are a booklet and music box playing a portion of the "Blue Danube." Guaranteed authentic. A handsome pen for every writer, musician devotee of Montblanc.

Brilliantly turning the bow of a violin into the pocket clip of this limited edition Montblanc Johann Strauss rollerball pen, the world's most famous pen maker "scores" another great hit. New Old Stock, this luxury pen pays tribute to the great composer. Not only do you get a booklet about him, you also get a little hand-crank music box playing his "Blue Danube" waltz. Clearly, the set comes with its original box. Guaranteed authentic.
