What's Your Most Recent Mb Purchase?

[Rosetta59]

Hi all,

my most recent MB purchase (actually the first purchase, this year) has been a 100 years historical (LE 2006). I bought one of the last two I found at the MB boutique in my town. I hope to post a review in the next weeks (I have seen only two here at FPN...)

I bought this pen after I read the dreamy review here by QM2

I am really happy of this pen ...

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

I just bought pne of hose a couple of months ago. I is a great pen. Mine has a flex OB nib. If my experience is any guide, you will love that pen. It is a cheap simple looking MB but it is an MB so it writes exremely well.

Congratulations on your pen Rosetta (great photos). I think that pen would make anyone happy.

 

Thanks for sharing.

This pen looks invincible

I just bought the 146 listed on the forum classified. I now have a 149 and a 146. I think I'm set!

I just bought a vintage #25. Lovely EF flex nib.

What a beauty it looks to be from around 1933!

Brilliant.

What is the STOFFHAAS imprint?

My first MB 149 , the nib is massive!!

From a fellow FPN'ers wife, looks to be around 1985.

Looking at the Dating thread it nearly works

14c duo tone nib

Split ebonite feed

plastic threads

two piece body - Not normal with the 14c nib

 

The irony is that it has a box and papers suggesting the pen was purchased from Harrods in Dec 1997.

I think the box is for another pen.

 

It is great, and drinking MB Royal Blue at present

 

What have I got myself into

I don't know what has gotten into me but my collection of 3 Mont Blancs has doubled in the past week to 6. This is too addicting. I purchased:

 

~A 1950s 242-G with an OB nib in nearly mint condition

~a Mozart fountain pen

~a Boheme sapphire ball point pen

~and a bottle of Mont Blanc's midnight blue (which i am not that much a fan of, as it is not flowing well in my 242-G at all, especially compared to Noodler's)

Stoffhass was a kind of Montblanc boutique during the first 30 years of the last century in various cities of Germany. They only sold Montblanc products and they imprint with its name the pens they sold.

Here's some pictures of the Boheme, just for fun.

I've been on a buying binge, even though I've sold off a couple, this week I purchased a NOS 149 (M) new in box with ink and a desk pen stand (sold off the pen stand), 146 broken( paid $50) that is off getting rebuilt at MB along with a nib swap, and a package deal from Ebay for 2 146's and a bordeaux Classique pencil and 144 (F) set.

Thank you!

I'm not generally a fan of engraving but I don't suppose this is the same as an individual doing his/ her name or initials.

Cheers

1950s 642 with a gold cap and a lovely OBB nib

1950s 144 with what looks to be a nicely flexy OBB nib

 

Hopefully on their way soon from Penboard.de!

For Valentines Day my wife surprised me with a Leonardo Sketch pencil. I also received the 149 demonstrator I bought a couple of weeks ago. I got to open it and look at it but cannot play with it until sometime later in the year(birthday, anniversary). It's okay though because it is in the house. Hitchcock also arrived a couple of days ago.

Bottle of Toffee brown, midnight blue and Oyster grey ink. Tried to get a Love red but they were out, didn't even ask about English racing green!

I bought my MB 149 last week what a beauty

... and still no pics? :-)

[BadHobbit]

A bottle of Hitchcock ink and the Orange Ink of joy! I never thought I'd like a bright orange ink but I was wrong. I'm still enjoying Irish Green in my 149 so it's going to be while before I give the Hitchcock Read a try!

[Ghost Plane]

A Dumas pencil followed me home. :embarrassed_smile: Too good a deal to pass up and I love the pen so much that I couldn't resist Perfect in the hand for those tasks where ink won't work.
