Hi dear FPNers,

I'd like to consult ye guys regarding the VINTAGE version of the Montblanc Et Noir made from ?1910 - ?1920s as I have recently come across them and would like very much to obtain one. I'd like to ask:

 

1. What do those numbers mean? I think there are numbered between 1 to 8. Perhaps the size/length of the pens/nibs?

2. Which models have the red star and which have the white?

3. Any idea roughly how much each of them costs? In Excellent to Near mint/mint condition that is, not some crummy one.

4. What are the filling systems like? I haven't come across much info on it at all.

5. Do the numbers on the nibs correspond to which version it is?

 

Thanks guys :)

 

Here are two pics I found on some random google search

the filling system is an eyedropper as far as I know. They are safety pens, so the nib is retracted by turning a knob at the end of the shaft. then the pen can be capped. they are very beautiful and I do not have one either. Sigh. Vera B)

Thanks for that info. Yeah they are beautiful and I did entertain some thoughts into getting them but wasn't sure what was the right price to pay for them. Hmm..

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
