MB146 "Black Rhodium" Pendleton "B" Nib
*PRICE DROP TO $375 (Buyer to pay fees, I pay shipping)*
Hello all,
I'm rather sad to be listing this pen as it was a bit of a challenge to get it, but after some time with it and some other circumstances I've found that I need to list it. I originally purchased this Montblanc 146 from an FPN Member. It was sent to "Dutchpen" (another member there) to have the yellow gold re-plated in black rhodium (think Sailor Imperial Black). I then sent it to Pendleton Brown to eliminate a baby's bottom issue and to crisp it up just a bit. It now has a nice 7/10 flow with some subtle line variation. He knocked it down from a 0.9 to about a 0.8 as well (it's roughly on-par with my Pilot VP "Medium" now, but has more line variation than the Pilot).
This pen writes beautifully (I'm sure in more capable hands than mine, this pen will create lovely things) and it's absolutely GORGEOUS to look at, however, I decided after some reflection, that I don't super love the nib as it's just a bit too broad for me for daily use and I learned of a friend's financial hardship this weekend and would like to pass on this pen and use some of the money to help give her a great Christmas. She's not had a great year and my wife and I love her dearly so I think this is the best thing I can do with this. I have other pens that I love and I will probably try this venture again in the future, but for now, it is in my heart to do something special for someone who means the world to us.
The pen is in good condition with just some light signs of use. The "snowcap" is bright and beautiful and contrasts incredibly well with the black/gray/silver tones of the pen. Included is the pen, a Montblanc pen box (not the original, I don't think) and a partial bottle of Montblanc Albert Einstein Gray (probably 80% full).
I'd like to get $375 shipped anywhere in the United States for this pen or best reasonable offer. Buyer pays PayPal fee. I have more than that tied up in the pen, but I'm willing to take a bit of a loss on it in an effort to move it. I really want this to go to a great home, though, because it's a beautiful pen and I think it just deserves to be used and carried.
Please PM or email me with any questions or offers you may have. I'm not interested in any trades as I'll be using at least a portion of the cash for our friend and the rest will probably go to gifts for my own family.
Kindest regards and warmest wishes during the holidays and always...
Matthew
