Recommended Posts

Hellow ~

I have found many article and document for a long time about 146 14c monotone.

But I can't find official article & document about 146 14c monotone.

Who say "in 1970s" but I don't have idea.

Is there who show me a official article or document or explain or link?

Thank you everyone.

:doh:

I personally have not found a Montblanc 146 with a monotone 14C nib but have found ones with a 14K nib. The 146 was discontinued in the late 50s and at that time it came with a 14C Bitone nib. In the mid to late 70s the 146 (as well as the revised 144 cartridge/converter pen) were reintroduced and at that time they came with a monotone 14K nib.

 

There may well be monotone 14C 146s out there but I simply have not yet found one.

 

1948 or 49 146 14C bitone nib.

Thank you for good replys.

I guess 146 14c bicolor became 14c monocolor by polishing, because I can't find any authenticate document about montblanc 146c monocolor.

I wondered if it really exists. :excl:

Probably not. What Hari shows is a nib and section from the reintroduced 146 that has a totally different feed and section than the earlier celluloid 146s.

Hello veryred, do you ask about the celluloid era 146 or the later resin era? 70s is solidly the resin era and what official documents do you refer to?

I have a 146 with a monotone yellow gold nib. I bought it from an AD in about 1990, brand new. Its been back to MB recently, who fixed a leak.

 

Unfortunately I cannot take a picture right now and cannot remember how the nib is inscribed.

 

Is a picture of this nib going to be helpful?

It means advertisements, catalogs, company records, etc about 14c monotone.

 

I'm not sure who makes below chart, I'm sorry about that.

This chart doesn't show the monocolor 146 14c, I'm not sure this chart's credibility.

I already had read about dating 146 by a few topics. But it cause me more confused.

This is a piece of 146 price list in 1973( 14kt ).

 

 

 

 

I really wonder weather it (14C monocolor) was manufactured or not.

If it was manufactured, when?

Actually, I have been thinking about its not existing so far.

Any reply,I am sincerely grateful to it.

I'm sorry about lacking my expression.

Just to throwing into the mix that there is the possibility that some older pens started out with plating and then had it polished off over the years, either through use or because the plating started to look patchy and the owner aggresively removed it. So if you do find a 14C monotone nib, it might not necessarily have started out that way.

veryred, rest assured that chart is certainly "not official", it looks to be on similar lines like the FPN 149 date chart effort, prepared by one or a group of pen nuts.

 

marketing literature can state "14kt" which just means 14 parts in 24. That does not indicate if the nib was marked 14C or 14K. Carat vs Karat, what is right...

 

I have several examples of plastic era 146 nibs which are monotone and marked 14C. they were not due to the result of plating wear.

 

the modern 146 got the bitone 14k nib only in the 90s.

 

I also have 18C marked monotone nibs. That chart does not speak about them either.

 

Charts are just rough guides limited by knowledge at the time the chart was made.

 

HTH.

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
