My Vintage Mb Collection

[siamackz]

Here’s adding two more grails from the 1930s. A No. 35 Meisterstück coral red and a 422 stylograph in mottled red.

[Marcwithac]

Great finds Sia. Curious, does the mottled red 422 have a red dot on the cap top? I think that's the way MB used to mark their stylographic pens.

Mottled red! That's sensational!

 

Great stuff, Sia. Congratulations!

Both are beautiful pens. I am lucky enough to own both pens. You have extremely good taste in pens

Thanks! This one doesnt but I have a spare one lying around that will replace it.

Thanks! I can now check the mottled red colour box for my collection. This one is a bit different from the typical red we find on MB safeties or level fillers - quite beautiful!

Beautiful pictures Sia!

I own a #35 and it's my favorite pen in terms of style and function. The mottled color scheme on the other pen is super-duper!!

Thank you! I too find the 35 to be the perfect sized pen for me!

This was one of the first pens made under the "Montblanc" line, between 1910-14! https://www.vintagemontblancpens.com/montblanc-no-2s-safety

Just realized I posted this in the wrong place 🤦‍♂️ This is not my pen

Finally, I add a grey striated 142 to complete my 14x collection! I will be looking for a replacement turning knob of better colour in the future but I am seriously impressed with the colour of the barrel and cap! Also, I finally have some 13x representation in my collection (I sold the older 13x pens) and also the only steel alloy nib in my collection today!

[CS388]

Sensational! What a wonderful colour! Many congratulations.

The turning knob looks just fine, from where I'm standing.

 

I have a couple of Montblanc wartime steel nibs (on lower tier pens) and they are amongst my favourite writers. When I first obtained them, I stopped using the gold Montblanc nibs for about a year and just wrote with the steel nibs.

It was probably partly novelty value, as I've gone back to a more diverse set of daily writers - but, there's usually a steel nib in there, somewhere. Today it's a BB 234½.

 

Congratulations, again on your collection. It's most impressive.

Thank you! And that BB 234 1/2 sounds lovely!

[siamackz]

Another grail added to the collection

 

And this rather beautiful one too IMHO:

 

I will be reviewing them on my website soon!

Finally reviewed!
