MB Noblesse Slimline

Recommended Posts

Hello - I have inherited Mont Blanc Noblese Slimline from my father's estate. At least that's what I think it is. Can anyone confirm that is what the model is and what it might be worth on the used market? My father would have purchased it new in the early 80's and it has rarely (if ever) been used.

 

I want to sell it but need to know more about the model and value. Any help in this regard would be greatly appreciated.

This is indeed an early-80's Noblesse, a cartridge/converter filler. The clip style (with the plastic button with a white star on it) is that of the end of the 70s/beginning of the 80s. There were many variations of color; it looks like the one pictured is in black matte with chrome trim.

 

In general, the Noblesse/SL/Slimline pens (all three names were used in different markets) are all-metal including the section, with plain stainless, black or colored finishes, steel nibs (flat and folded over on the sides). They're quite durable, basic pens, and were often sold in sets with ballpoint and sometimes ballpoint and pencil.

 

If it has the steel nib, it's worth about $70-85.

I have one of these pens that I won in a lot on eBay. Mine is a burgundy colour with a gold coloured nib and is a nice writer, but the pen itself is a little skinny for my hands. Here is a thread where mine was also identified as a Noblesse/Slimline/SL.

      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
