Montblanc Collection Box

[Sebvelez]

I use the same collection box, fantastic for storing some of the collection. Would be great if it came in a three or four drawer version:

I was wondering if a Heritage 1914 would fit inside the box.... Seems I found my answer... Thankfully the price is way up there to assist with temptation... But yet another excuse gone. I just handled one at the boutique when I picked up my collection box this weekend... Very nice pen... Silly big, but nice.

 

 

Congrats on a beautiful collection and some ultra special pens!

Here is a quote I once spotted on here which must echo some of us more 'economical with the truth' members.....

 

"one of my biggest fears is that when I die my wife will sell my pens for the prices I told her I have paid for them"

 

oh the horror of facing the facts !!!!!

 

LOL! This is the funniest thing I've heard in a while...... I must confess this thought has crossed my mind... I guess I'm in the "economical with the truth FPN subgroup"! Glad there's others out there!!!

Haven't posted in awhile I received the the box as a Christmas gift. For higher resolution pictures you can view the ablum here: https://imgur.com/a/tm5vH.

Scroll to the bottom for pics of the collection, which started in Dec. 2014. Note, I left my StarWalker Mystery Black FP in my office desk so it's not included in the pictures.

My wife really wants me to get the Luciano Pavarotti Limited Edition 98, but we'll see. I tend to like to buy the pens sealed and there are none available for this pen.

Great box! I noticed it last year in Hamburg, and I am still trying to get one to my store...

Beautiful collection! Which one is the one next to the L'Aubrac?

Unless I'm mistaken I believe it is the Alexander von Humboldt pen. Like the L'Aubrac it is made of Grenadillo (aka african blackwood) (Dalbergia Melanoxylon).

 

Kindest regards

Love the quote

 

My wife still believes I only spent $5,000 putting a supercharger on my car.....!

As mentioned it's the Alexander Von Humboldt. Still one of my favourites.

Thanks. I'm sure there are some very nice collections in Aus

Just got an email from La Couronne du Comte that they are shipping my Collection Box along with my Heritage 1914 with OBB nib. Should be here in about a week.

 

This purchase required a bit more rationalization than usual.

[LargeSofa]

speaking of collectors boxes... I will have you all know. I at one time owned the box in the attached auction. Admittedly, I overpaid for it buying at the bonhams auction, getting carried away. I never used the box and never liked it. The 20 pen collectors box, as being discussed in this thread is SO much better.

 

This box below doesnt fit the bigger pens, and I do not even think it fit comfortably my 146 doue and certainly not my Citrine or Silver Guilloche 146, the newer ones are a little bigger.

 

Also when opening this box, I was always afrain pens were going to fall out. Seems like two are on ebay at the moment, which is strange b/c they are somewhat rare, but avoid, the box sucks and you can hardly even see the mont blanc logo on the top, bad style design.

A BIT?!?!

I've added two more images to the album at the request of a forum user who wanted to see how it was packaged.

[Humanities]

The key is quite striking in its own right!

I very much like how subtle and understated the logo is on the older box.

[Nathanb]

Calling my dealer now, I want one !!!!

 

and after 11 months, I have found a home for my Lamy

 

Very impressed with the build of materials, thanks for the heads up Psychor!

For those in the UK Wheelers Luxury Gifts sell these collector boxes, and when I spoke to them on the phone, they said they had a few in stock .

 

I bought myself one as my Christmas present last week when they had their 20% discount days for Black Friday

 

I can honestly say I have never seen such great packaging from anywhere. It came in a huge carton full of polystyrene peanuts. The collectors box was in it's cream box, that was inside an outer cardboard box, that was perfectly centred inside this huge carton.

 

Full marks to Wheelers from me.

Gorgeous box

Indeed. Before I bought my collector box, I had my inked pens in a Visconti 12 pen case plus a Visconti 6 pen case. Yes I know I had too many inked pens. My Lamy 'ink review' pens lived in a 'pen pot.' After the delivery of my Montblanc collector box, my Visconti 12 pen case now contains my Lamy pens plus others that I write ink reviews with.

 

My Mb box contains my Mb, Omas, Pelikan and Aurora pens whether they are inked or not. My OH thinks I'm mad for not including my Mb BP & RB pens in my collector case instead.
