Trying To Remember A Pen From The 80's

[Ohibet]

Hi -

 

I'm trying to recall the name of a pen that I used regularly back in the late 80's and early 90's. The pen was peculiar -- its tip always felt like an ultra thin felt tip, perhaps--but slight,y stiffer/scratchier. I remember that the case was white plastic, and either the logo or the pen design had a triangle as a key component. It felt like it was one step removed from being a calligraphy pen. The brand or model, I vaguely recall, was French -- something like 'Mont,' I want to say -- but then of course that seems unlikely...

 

I realize how sketchy these details are, but I was just a kid when I used them --- and remember loving them. Very eager to fill in this memory. Thanks for any guesses or tips you might have!

It might help to know what part of the world you lived in at the time. :-)

USA- and this product was availablein a standard office supply store.

Montefiore? (I can't recall their logo, but it's the only brand that comes immediately to mind that starts with "mont") I have one of their pens kicking around, received it as a gift... looks nothing like you describe, though (for one, the body is metal)... can't say it was ever my favorite, but it wasn't a *bad* pen. Quick a stiff nib, though, yes.

Hmm, a good guess, but I don't think so. I'm wondering if Mont Blanc had a cheap line at that time...

The French thing has me thrown off, otherwise I would have said Fountain Pentel.

French and 80s/90s, all I come up with is Stypen. Certainly that description of stiff and scratchy could be applied to their folded nibs as far as I'm concerned, and I have seen packaging with a triangle motif. Just on the thin felt tip/calligraphy aspect, I'd have guessed Pentel too. Sort of depends what your budget was as a kid to some extent - as I've seen teenagers post about their MBs on here, I no longer make assumptions!

YES, Fountain Pentel. Thank you so much!!! It's like finding an old friend. Appreciate that you took the time to help me recover that...
