What's Your Most Recent Mb Purchase? 2018

[kandarp]

I wish I can start having such happy little accidents!

 

Accidentally purchased another 70's 149 in Broad (that makes two this week)... But this one was too good to miss! Original box, lovely Broad nib with flex, single piece barrel and solid ebonite feed.

Picked up a Coral Rouge et Noir with a Medium nib. When these first came out I was really tempted but a store salesman convinced me that I would not like it ( too narrow). Well it turns out that yes it is narrow, but I do like it. It writes great with a bit of bounce ( no flex), besides my Agatha needs company.

Had a bit of a moment on that auction site, fuelled by Songkran celebrations in Bangkok....and now have 2 146's coming to me (thankfully I made 4 offers and 2 were rejected).

 

One looks like a fine nib with solid gold nib and slotted ink window

The other I think is a medium, bi-colour nib with slotted ink window

Will see how they write, and move one on probably. Wanted a fine, so no idea why I even bid for the medium.......already got one of them

...something to tinker with

 

Most pens are in pretty rough condition but so far I've spotted only one pen which is in need of a replacement section.

 

We'll see how those will turn out after restoration.

 

Cheers

A sealed Montblanc Leo Tolstoy LE 1868. Such excitement when unsealing it. 😍😍😍

 

This pen reminds me of Verne & Martelè. 😘

Huge congratulations... Love both this writer and the WE. I ended up with the more common RB and FP but absolutely love the design of this creation. Provide us with a writing sample as well.

Another gorgeous red Danish MB! I've just received a book about these pens, and am anxious to learn more about them. Then I hope to snag one or two.

[farmdogfan]

Thank you very much Jmccarty3, is it the Holten/Lund book about montblanc in denmark?

[Michael R.]

The coral 4 is very nice!

Actually I got mine on a flea market in Copenhagen a few years ago :-)

Cheers

Yesterday I bought a Mb Etoile de Montblanc ballpoint pen, model 25550.

Black, 0,06 ct diamond

The strange thing is that I dont find any information, not in stores, nor on the site of Montblanc itself [only sand colour].

Anyone have clue why I can’t any info?

Thanks

[farmdogfan]

Thanks Michael R, they have a good useable size, and mostly very nice nibs.
