Montblanc Desk Stand

[Jordan N]

I got a beautiful Montblanc desk stand for 146. (Now, I just need to get a 146 in gold trim 😂)

 

I'm wondering if anybody has experience with this kind of desk stand. Should I worry about the possibility of pen drying if not used for a few days?

Does it not have threads like a regular cap? I thought the 149 version did but could be wrong as I never actually saw one. If it doesn't then yes it will dry out.

Yes, it has threads as a regular cap, but I'm not sure if top of the cap is air tight. It's 146 - not 149.

You don't even have to thread it. You pen won't dry out. I bought 2 x penwell and I don't screw my pens in and my MB 149 never dries out.

If they were conscientious enough to make it with threads like a normal cap then there's no reason to suspect they won't have paid attention to making the top just as air tight.

The pen stand in the OP photo is for a 144.  It snaps in.  The 146 and 149 pens thread into the cap.  if properly snapped or threaded, there should be no concerns of the pen drying out.

I have my 146 screwed onto the cap of the pen stand and it does not dry out. The stand cap is similar to the pen cap  but with a screw to attach the cap to the stand. This is an elegant addition to enhance the beauty of my 146. It also allow my 146 standing tall 🤗 all the time when its not travelling with me. Cheers.
