What's Your Most Recent Mb Purchase?

[Blade Runner]

My most recent MB purchase was a MB Selection wallet. I enjoy it every day.

Pen wise, it's the gorgeous Voltaire, M, filled with Pelikan BB and in the rotation.

Wow that pen is amazing

[Linceo]

A vintage MB 342G with BB nib that is still on its way to me.

A 149 with B nib.

 

ink (lavender purple, burgundy red, midnight blue, royal blue) for the 149 and midnight blue for the Boheme.

 

:cloud9:

 

I'm looking forward to inking this pen.

My Oscar Wilde which I collected just over a week ago. It's currently inked with MB Green ink.

149 w/ fine nib from a Texas vendor at the recent DC show. I've only filled it with MB's new Irish Green. I'm going back and forth between it and my 146, trying to decide which heft and feel I really am most comfortable with in my hand. I think the 149 needs a nibmeister, though. Still feels slightly "off" after I've allowed for my not being used to fine nibs. :hmm1:

A vintage 744-N with an oblique double broad flexible nib... Never would have thought myself a potential lover of solid gold goodness... But, goodness...

Mark Twain (F), currently inked with MB Midnight Blue.

A sweet little 146 from the early 80's F 14K nib. Just needed a good flushing to get it back on its tines! Filled with MB Blue. Looks brand new and came with the box.

[CS388]

My first ever 149. An old one. Currently away having it's nib fixed.

[Rick Propas]

For me a vintage Montblanc 138. I still need a really good 136 set like the one I foolishly sold about ten years ago.

[karmakoda]

Another old 149, my fifth, with the intention of having the nib changed to OBB.

The photos of the Mark Twain and the Voltaire are gorgeous. Are the snowcaps on both pens ivory coloured? Exquisite pens and photographs.

Thanks for the inspiration!

[zenshrink]

1960'S 149 with a medium nib; a 1950s piston filled celluloid 149 with an OBB, and a Mann with a BB nib. Quite a bunch.

[Blade Runner]

Thanks Mdoering and Karmakoda. The white of the star on the Voltaire looks slightly off white compared to the bright snow white of a contemporary 146.

 

Brandon, perfect ink choice for the Wilde! There can be none other.

How come you guys keep the tags on the pen (nib size's)?

In case I flip the pen, I can still say everything is "complete". If you peel off the label, it's "incomplete" :roflmho:

My Oscar Wilde which I collected just over a week ago. It's currently inked with MB Green ink.

 

I am so very jealous!

 

My last MB purchase was quite a while ago, and it was the Prince Regent. After that, I was pretty much all set for a while!

Just scored a barely used Resin Starwalker Rollerball for $110... Is that a good deal or is that normal?

That distinction has always struck me as odd, because

. sometimes even pens from the MB boutique are missing a sticker, and

. I have seen some most definitely well-used pens with the crusty sticker still on them!

A bottle of toffee brown because they didn't have the Irish Green. Nice brown.
