GROUP SHOT (http://imgur.com/2fNnTxR)
Individual pictures and writing samples linked below.
Montblanc Boheme Noir (http://imgur.com/a/MccgA) - This has a rhodium plated 14k nib that I would say is on the finer side of medium. Great writer! Cartridge only in these pens, but the mechanism is exceptionally cool and fun to use. I will include about 20 Monblanc cartridges, so you'll be good to go. Pen is functionally perfect. Minor surface wear and microscratches. Starts small and becomes a full size pen. $OLD
Montblanc 146R (http://imgur.com/a/36WcZ) - Burgundy/Bordeaux/Red long discontinued version of the 146. This one has a 14k Medium nib, brass piston threads, capband says "No146" on it, Germany and Serial Number on clip band. Functionally perfect. Minor surface wear and microscratches from use, little roughness/staining on the star, which may polish out. $OLD
Soennecken 111 Superior (http://imgur.com/a/DkW6y) - Silver-Grey Herringbone pattern is one of the most beautiful celluloids ever made. Unfortunately, the piston turning knob has suffered some significant degradation! Click piston is still functional and pen is totally ready to write, but this is a pretty big flaw and spare parts are not easy to come by. Has been stabilized with Norland 61, an optical grade adhesive. Gorgeous 14k Broad nib that has a natural stubby flavor and good flex. $OLD
Waterman 56 (http://imgur.com/a/FD0Nl) - Clipless cap, never drilled for a clip. I will include an accommodation clip with this. Quite a bit of discoloration and the imprints are pretty bad, too. No chips or cracks. Early "New York" #6 nib that offers a bit of variation. A bit of feedback when writing, so maybe better for a buyer who either likes that or is comfortable adjusting the nib to their preferences. $140 125 120
Tiffany 14k Pencil (http://imgur.com/a/hfaMU) (Made by WS Hicks) - Solid 14k gold pencil. There's a pretty sizable ding in the cone, which I tried to photograph, but this pencil is otherwise in great shape. Made by WS Hicks, who was one of the top luxury pen makers in the late-1800s and early-1900s. Engraved "JLWW." Takes a fairly large lead ~3mm. Big pencil, weighs in a bit over 25g without lead. $500 450 395
Prices include shipping within the US. International is possible, at cost (for tracked service, prices vary by country). Paypal only.
