Love the coral 53. I find the Danish MBs to be very interesting. Thanks for the photos.

Really great collection - I love the green marbled 46!

 

Are the MB vintage pencils harder to find than the vintage FPs?

In good condition yes - when the ballpoint pen was introduced on the market most fountain pens found their way to drawers and cabinets - the pencils were still being used and therefore exposed to damage and wear.

Wow! That bicolor is new to me, thanks for sharing!

Nice pencils. I have a 1930s early version of the Pix pencil (Montblanc 72) and is essentially an every day pencil that is dragged all over the world.

These early Montblanc Pix pencils are GREAT - here ´s a photo of a Montblanc Pix #72 in red (Germany for the danish market) and a Montblanc Pix #15 made in Montblanc´ s factory in Denmark c. 1954

Wow, those are in great shape! They are not easy to find. I have a few Danish MB fountain pens. I think I will have to consider adding a couple of pencils.

There seems to be a growing band of appreciators for the Danish versions of MB pens and pencils, and it is easy to see why.

 

Super collection of MB pencils bigben. Thank you very much for sharing them with us.

Thanks for the nice pictures of these rare pencils! I've got the Montblanc in Denmark-book myself and loved reading it.

Excellent collection of MB pencils. Thank you for posting pictures for us. I own at least 7 different vintage pencils and I enjoy using them as well.
