Got A Mystery

[domhubbard2]

Hey. My girlfriend's grandmother was a paralegal and when she helped win a big case her boss bought her a beautiful Mont blanc fp. She is no longer with us, and we have no idea about what it is. We do know this was about 1996/97. Pic is the pen. We would love to find out the model and value of this pen. Thank you in advance.

Did a quick google search; found what is called a 153 which looks similar. Probably a good place to start.

Montblanc Noblesse

[Kalessin]

This model series is called the "Noblesse Oblige", and is from the era of slim Montblanc metal fountain pens which started in the 1970s and continued through to the late 1980s, with stock continuing into the 1990s. The pens themselves were mostly known by model numbers, most of them five digits long.

 

They use "Standard International" pen cartridges (which are fairly easy to find) or a converter; Pelikan converters should fit, so you can fill with ink from a bottle.

 

This example is almost certainly gold-plated over brass.

It did have a converter with it, as well as some cartridges. I think I earned some points with my girlfriend's mom when I taught her about what a converter was and what it did, as well as spending about an hour flushing out the pen to get out the dried ink from a cartridge that had been left in for about 20 years.

Average market value starts from ( Approx) $150.- depending on condition.

Hope this helps.
