How Many Mont Blanc Do You Have

[zaddick]

Ah yes, Bo De Medici, Lorenzo's less successful brother.

Well, just one, a Meisterstuck Gold Coated Classique with a fine nib...

Ah, that 1950s and and 1940s list. Inspiring!

[yeepers]

The answer is too many!! And not as many as some others The feather in my cap is still the MB music nib I managed to score. That may be my all time favorite acquisition!!

I have started my collection only recently and have decided to take a small break from adding any more. I need to review my model interests, sell those I don't use often, and then build back up slowly in the direction I seem to naturally be inclined to. Based on about 1.5 years of collecting, I have:

 

1930s:

• Montblanc 432 (stylograph) Piston
• Montblanc 422 (stylograph; French) Push Knob
• Montblanc No. 1 ("1" nib; Danish) Button filler
• Montblanc 302 ("a" warranted nib) Safety filler
• Montblanc 324 ("b" warranted nib) Button filler

Future additions: 13x series (tie clip), 12x (PL ideally)

 

1940s:

• Montblanc 332 Telescoping Piston
• Montblanc 334 1/2 Piston
• Montblanc 244 Piston
• Montblanc 244 Piston

Future addition: 234 1/2 Luxury,

 

1950s:

• Montblanc 644G Meisterstück Telescoping Piston
• Montblanc 342D Piston Montblanc 252 Piston
• Montblanc 264 Piston
• Montblanc 146G Meisterstück Telescoping Piston
• Montblanc 142 Meisterstück Telescoping Piston

Future additions: 144, 146 Green Striated, 344, 256

 

1960s:

• Montblanc #34 Piston
• Montblanc 72 Meisterstück Piston

1970s:

• Montblanc 622G Junior Piston

1980s:

• Montblanc 146 Meisterstück Piston

1990s:

• Montblanc 149 Meisterstück Piston

2000s:

• Montblanc 147 Traveller Cartridge

2010s: Nothing yet, and nothing intended to be honest. I am going to stick to building my 1930-1950 collection.

 

I also have a few sub brands or brands that MB manufactured for:

• Stoffhaas (by MB) "B" Safety filler, "b" warranted nib, Hard Rubber, 1930s
• Stoffhaas (by MB) 321 Button filler, warranted nib, Hard Rubber, 1940s
• Skribent (by MB) Super 4 Button filler, Danish, 1950s
• Monte Rosa (by MB) 402SG Piston, 1960s

Your Montblanc music nib was extra-special.

If it's writing well for you, that's the best of all.
