Green Striated

[ozwill45]

Hi all,

I have been out of the loop for most of the last year. My collecting has been haphazard other than green celluloid pens, which have been an obsession.

I have a few Montblancs and love to hear about your views on this very charismatic model. Sorry about the photo, it has pulled some colour from the second pen.

enjoy

WOW!

Those are beautiful

Thanks for sharing... Would love to see them uncapped.

[Jon Szanto]

I swear, I've *never* seen MBs like that. Those are the first Montblancs I'd consider owning!

[Feardorcha]

These are the first Montblancs I've seen that aren't the typical 'drab' conservative colours and they look amazing. I can only imagine how good they look in use.

I'll second that emotion. Nice!

Gorgeous. I've seen these models at pen shows only. Congratulations on your collection.

[Fawkes]

Beautiful collection, thanks for sharing!

I love the striated MBs. Had a chance once to pick up 144 in green and didn't go for it. I regret it.

[bluefeathers]

WOW! I've never seen the green that intense and bright on those models, would love to see them in person. Congratulations!

I have never seen these sort of Montblanc pens before. They look so equisite.

They are beautiful pens, especially if you get one with no ambering of the colored celluloid. Not sure of prices on a 142 or 144, but a 146 with no ambering and great color will be north of $1500.

They write the same as the plain black ones..

Disclosure... I have a #146 Green Striated, so not trying to dis them, just sayin' ...........

It is hard to find a 146 without ambering at a reasonable price. North of $1500 is correct! I try not to ink them much but do rotate them through every now and then. The 144s have a lovely heft in the hand. The 146 is just so close to the perfect pen in my view but then I have a real thing for this colour. I think the black 146 is also lovely and have been looking for one for a while.

[CS388]

I didn't realise they were 146s. That's some collection you've got there, ozwill45! Gorgeous.

Is the centre pen also green striated, or grey striated? (Or is that the second pen/pulled colour you mention in your post)

Re ambering: Will regular inking affect this process? Or is it just a natural phenomenon with old coloured celluloid?

Again, beautiful pens. Congratulations and thanks for sharing.

No Francis, only one 146 and the rest are 144s. I wish they were all 146s. The 144s are lovely though.

[da vinci]

It may sound odd to some but I prefer the 144, and one of these is definately on my want list!

And my plain black 146 is working well. Thanks Rick for adjusting the nib in DC for me!

Now, that's a surprise. I thought they were all the same model.

On close inspection, the 146 is second in line (from the left)?

Do they have ink windows?

[kaisnowbird]

IMHO, they are the coolest vintage MB ever made. Only if I could afford one.
I also prefer the 144.

[FredRydr]

It's not easy to tell the model with just a glance. The celluloid 144 and 146 lengths are close. Also, the striated celluloid shrinks. I'll have two green striated Meisterstucks at Ohio: a 146 with N.O.S. barrel and a 142 with a flex nib.

NOS Green Striated barrel!
Sheesh! That's got to be a rare part to find! Can't imagine Montblanc have many of these left, in their parts department!

Nice.

[sunnerd]

There is still at least one collector keeping those striated celluloid rods from the 60s. I've seen his stock and I had to retrieve my jaws on the floor. :-)
