Each pen's name should also be a link to some individual pictures of that pen.
* Montblanc Traveler Case (http://imgur.com/a/Um5el) - This leather case is designed to go with the 147 and it is in near mint condition. There is a slot for the pen and six individual slots to hold ink cartridges. **$OLD**
* Montblanc 146 (http://imgur.com/a/Ku8mH) - An older 146, probably from the 1980s, pre-serial number. This pen has a monotone 14k Broad nib and a personalization on the cap and clip (Joseph Oren, MD on the cap, JO on the clip). Pen is in very good condition, but has a few signs of wear. Functions perfectly. **$OLD**
* Montblanc Legrand Traveler (AKA 147) (http://imgur.com/a/AVBZk) - The Cartridge version of the Legrand/146. This pen is in excellent condition. The nib is 14k and writes about a Medium line. Check the pics to see the way the mechanism works, it’s basically a caddy that holds a spare cartridge. (The leather case is available separately.) **SOLD**
* Montblanc Legrand (AKA 146) (http://imgur.com/a/L5zBw) - The classic Meisterstuck line from Montblanc in very good condition. This pen has a 14k nib with what seems to be a Medium point. Brass piston is functioning correctly and normally. Markings suggest this is a pen from the late 1990s. **SOLD**
* Montblanc 146G (http://imgur.com/a/j0JhC) - A very early celluloid 146. I believe this is from the first year of production, 1949. Beautifully smooth 14c Broad nib, matching the markings on the piston turning knob. The cork is good and the pen in totally functional. The piston is the telescopic type, the feed is the “ski-slope,” the ambered ink window is long, and the nib is FLEXIBLE. The brassing on the bands is very even and the wide “Meisterstuck” band turns. Can you get a better one? Not at this price! **WITHDRAWN FOR NOW**
* Montblanc Classique (AKA 145) (http://imgur.com/a/3RmbF) - This cartridge/converter pen has a 14k Medium nib. No converter is included here and the cap has an inscription on it that appears to be in Korean. I can’t read it, but maybe someone can chime in and let me know what it says. Condition is very good, with minor usage marks. **SOLD**
* Montblanc Mozart 75th Anniversary Edition (AKA 114) (http://imgur.com/a/8whhZ) - A very small pen, this is the special edition made for the 75th anniversary of the Meisterstuck line. It has a really beautiful nib design that makes it quite special. PLUS, it has a DIAMOND in the cap. The nib is a 14k Fine and the pen is in near mint condition. A rather uncommon beauty! **SOLD**
* Pelikan M805 Dark Blue (http://imgur.com/a/U3rpZ) - A limited production pen from quite a few years back, the M805 in Dark Blue is quite difficult to find at any price. This pen is in very good condition, with only minor usage marks. The nib is an 18k Fine and writes quite smoothly. Typical Pelikan firm nib. Comes with a Pelikan box. *SOLD*
* ST Dupont Olympio XL (http://imgur.com/a/nwZmM) - Largest of the Olympio line. This pen comes with the “Laque de Chine” and gold plating. Lacquer over a brass body, making it a heavier pen, but perfectly balanced and a terrific writer. The nib is an 18k Fine nib. One issue is a bit of damage on the cap, which I have attempted to photograph. This doesn’t affect writing at all, but the price reflects that issue and some minor plating loss right by the nib. **SOLD**
* Parker Vacumatic Long Major Azure DJ (Double Jewel) (http://imgur.com/a/fYCCU) - Okay… a bit complicated to nail down the precise model description on this one, since there are so many different models of Vacumatic. This is one of the most desirable Vacumatics before a big jump in prices, with the Azure color only being introduced about 18 months before the double jewels went away. This longer version of the Major is sometimes described as being a Slender Maxima, but I understand that to be incorrect, since this has the Major band and the Major size nib. The nib is firm and writes about a medium line. This pen is in great condition and the pictures don't really convey how beautiful the blue striped celluloid is. **SOLD**
* Pilot Vanishing Point Matte Black (http://imgur.com/a/dA8hw) - 18k Fine point nib with the Ruthenium plating. The pen works flawlessly and writes beautifully, but the finish on the body has some wear. Hopefully, that makes you comfortable to turn this wonderful pen into a daily user. *SOLD*
* Platinum 3776 (http://imgur.com/a/mRPCm) - Classic Japanese pen to jump into the gold nib pool. This pen is in great condition with a 14k Broad nib. Black with gold plating. Comes with a converter. Great condition and it'll get to you fast! **SOLD**
That’s a lot of pens! This post took a long time to write!
All pens will be well packed, cleaned, and in working order when they go in the mail.
Prices do not include shipping, which is $6.80 for a USPS Small Flat Rate Box. International shipping is possible, but it is very expensive and I do require tracking for my own protection (since I believe that Paypal will always side with the buyer if no tracking can be provided).
Paypal only. Payment within 24 hours if you say you’ll take something. I am not looking for trades at this time.
