The instructions show it filling an eye-dropper style pen. Did MB make an eye-dropper??

[Michael R.]

Yes, I might have a vintage catalog showing this bottle.

 

And those ink bottles are also used to fill safety fillers which Montblanc made until the 30‘s.

 

Today it is a very desireable piece!

 

Cheers

To my regret (as a pacifist) the gun shaped ink pot is real.

Oh yes, Montblanc also made eye-dropper pens. But what you can see on the instruction paper is a safty-filler.

It must be very difficult to clean out

At least they included a safety

Have seen that in very old Montblanc ads, but never a photo of the actual traveling inkwell. Excellent condition! Thank you very much for sharing, OCArt.

The image reminded me of a Luger.

"traveling inkwell"?

 

I can't imagine trying to get that past TSA

It's very cool though.

+1 on that sentiment. Well, not a total pacifist (I'm like a friend of mine -- I'm *completely* okay with sucker punching Nazis ).

The entire concept is kinda appalling. I can just see someone getting shot for real while they're yelling "No no, it's just an inkwell...."

I'm just betting any second now I'll get targeted with another "get your concealed carry permit online" ad now. (The *first* one got reported to Wim -- and ALSO to the Internet Crime Complaint Center for violating Pennsylvania law).

This is a poor attempt at humor. You're better than this. Edited October 21, 2017 by gary

I was being kind, not naive.

 

You advocate physical violence.

 

Physical violence by way of sneak attack.

 

Such is the level of discourse.

I'm with you Ruth. I could see that getting confiscated at the airport or be mistaken for a very small pistol like a Baby Browning.

I am wondering what is it worth to a collector.

It does look like a Baby Growing...
