What MBs are you using today?

I just have one MB in my pen box at the moment, but it got caught by the camera just now. It's an MB 149 bought from a very nice Canadian a little while ago. Don't want to cross-post so here's the pic: https://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/index.php?/topic/228810-first-pen-pic-a-stub/

Montecristo, I'd love to see a writing sample with that nib you described on the Carnegie, or at the very least a nib shot. It sounds like it would be fun to use.

 

lemanfan, nic picture, and a nice set up you have. My photo below is with my humble iPhone - I'd love to have a Nikon set up like yours!

MB 144 M nib Quink Blue

Used a MB 244G extra-fine to write someone a happy birthday note. (Parker 75 at work.)

Damn & blast !!! Following major cleaning and flushing session all MB pens were in the hardwood display/storage box over the past few days. Arrived eleswhere this morning opened pen case out of man bag pen ......case empty !!! Hence a MB less day today Ah well abscence/ lack of use/ makes the pen urge stronger .

I feel for you. It only occasionally happens to me (maybe 1 or 2 times a year) but I hate it when I forget to take my pens to work. The thought of having to use a Bic Biro depresses me. For these days you end up trying to write as little as possible - and definitely avoid writing in your best work pad (currently a Web Notebook for me).

 

Luckily I have my pens with me today. I've got MB Burgundy ink in my 147 (filled via a syringe) and my Poe with Mystery Black ink.

Here you go (sorry for the lousy iPhone pics, don't have a good camera with me at present):

WOW! that's quite the pen, and an absolutely amazing nib, Montecristo! Enjoy it!

Trusty MB 144

[BrandonA]

Inked my Cervantes this afternoon. For the first time in a very lo g time. I'd forgotten just how good this pen feels in the hand. It's filled with Toffee Brown ink.

[dcpritch]

I'm using a 1970s 146, 14k B nib, with MBRG; and a 1990s 149, 18k OB nib, with Organics Studio Manganate V. The 149 is on loan from a friend and I'm really liking the OB nib. The 146 I used all morning taking notes in meetings. Great pens, these Montblancs!

That's not really a surprise. I love my OB, but you know that already. Which one of those two do you prefer?

[dcpritch]

Hi Peter, I really like the OB, but my favorite of the MBs I own or have used is a 149 with a 1960s 18C BBB nib. Eric Niksch put the pen together for me using a nib that he had retipped by Greg Minuskin. I don't have the pen at the moment, as it is with a fellow FPNer in Florida on "summer vacation." I've shown this picture on a couple of other threads, and I certainly don't want to stray too far off topic, but here is the BBB nib:

 

 

And a very poor photo of a writing sample I had done previously:

Need to take a pic, using my new 146P with a luscious OBB nib.

[Tom Aquinas]

My faithful 144 is on the desk.

Lovely nib, thank you for sharing it with us.
