Yellow Montblanc Stars Or "50 Shades Of Yellow"...

[Ghost Plane]

Not if I can get my grubby paws in first.

Footie hooligans have nothing on pen fanatics in a scrum.

Turning those yellowed stars back white will reduce the value of the pen by 50% to 80%. If you plan on keeping the pens forever and want the stars white then they can be replaced but understand it will reduce the value of the pen significantly.

It was my perception of the star of my Voltaire pencil. An old white color.

Most of the Montblanc pens on my writing desk are recent models.

There are a few older pens.

After reading your helpful post above I placed the older pens in order of age plus several newer pens.

What you've mentioned above was clear, as there was a shift in snow star brightness with age.

It's 5 am here so insufficient light for a natural light photograph.

I may work on an image showing the aging. It will be anecdotal evidence from a non-representative sample, but perhaps useful for comparison purposes.

Thank you for your helpful comment.
