What's Your Montblanc Pen Collection ?

[Hieroglyph]

Many sellers use the word mint condition, to describe Pens they are selling; don't get me wrong, all the Pens I have received ( bought )I have been more than happy with their condition. However, the Schiller I was waiting for, arrived this morning; during our conversations, the seller told me that She had bought several from a private collection. She said it looked as if it had been bought new and immediately put away into storage, I thought Yep pretty good condition then. She WASN'T joking, it's absolutely Fantastic and is every bit as good as the Day it was made............I'm one very happy Bunny!!

now that's a collection. Wow!

[Pensively]

Pavoni!!!!!

 

Sweet Mary Mother of Jesus....that is a truly magnificent collection....

[BrandonA]

Pavoni,

 

From your previous posts it was obvious you had an extensive collection. Didn't expect this though.

 

I particularly like the final photo, it's a prospective you don't see often.

 

Out of curiosity, what sort of pen chest or folio do you store them in?

[pavoni]

now that's a collection. Wow!

 

 

Thank you for taking the time to look and comment sarahfar. Now that this particular collection is complete, I introduce one into my weekly rotation with the objective of experiencing each and every one of them. No point in having them unless I use them

Thanks David. My only wish is that I could photograph them in the same way you do. Always enjoy your atmospheric photos

Thanks Brandon, I really appreciate your comments, particularly given your fabulous collection. Actually, I haven't listed all of my MBs :embarrassed_smile: I have a few duplicates etc. As you can probably appreciate, most of my pens are rather delicate (given their age) so, a well constructed and vintage friendly pen chest is vital. I use the excellent Geoff at Pencase (he lives up the road from me). In fact, his avatar is the pen case he kindly made for me. Whilst it is designed to hold 50 pens (5 drawers of 10) I have crammed over 70 pens into it. I am just about to order another. As you might have detected from my previous posts, I am a bit OCD with my pens, though it serves to keep them in good condition.

Pavoni, what a great collection!!

 

Haha, I think we all go through the "outgrowing of pen chests"! After outgrowing 3, I finally had one built that would hold 900 pens and had two drawers that were taller for ink! Haven't quite outgrown this one yet!

Pavoni, now THAT is a COLLECTION!

[Inked]

Pavoni, just fantastic!

 

What a great pleasure it must be to fill one of those each week.

 

How many months did it take you to assemble that bit of history?

 

 

Thank you for sharing.
