Item History & Price
Up for sale is a classic, genuine Montblanc fountain pen MONTBLANC No. 72fountain penGrey Resin & Gold Filled capc. 1959-1960s DescriptionThis Montblanc No. 72 Pen dates to late1950s/early 1960s and the design of the 2x line was the hallmark of Montblanc engineering at that time. The 2x line proved so popular that it was re-launched in 1990s as GENERATION line and currently - as CRUISE collection which are the modern... incarnation of these vintage models.Perhaps the coolest thing about the 2x line is their timeless, strikingly modern appearance and excellent engineering. The pen has a slip-on cap with a mechanism based on clutch/ring and it is extremely cool - when the pen is capped, it makes no sound and the mechanism holds the cap securely in place. Also, the barrel has a grey, semi-transparent ink-view section that shows when to refill. This Montblanc design inspired many big names such to produce Montblanc 2x inspired pens in 1970s: Waterman launched the Concord, Namiki - some Pilot Custom models and Kaweco also made a few pens that bear a striking resemblance to some 60s Montblanc pens. This model was produced in Black, Burgundy, Grey and Green (the British Racing Green colour). The colour versions are very uncommon, since black was the most popular and not many colour variants were made.This is the more upscale model with all-metal gold filled cap and premium trim. ImprintsThe lower cap ring is stamped:MONTBLANC - Meisterstück - No. 72 The cap top of the pen and its filler knob have the white inlaid Montblanc snowflake logo.Item conditionExcellent vintage condition, probably never used but may have been dipped/inked.This is a genuine Montblanc article (I don't collect fake pens).
