Is it Mont Blanc or Montblanc


The Legend

Recommended Posts

Everytime I have to write this down I wonder if I should write "Mont Blanc" or "Montblanc".

I see that it has been used both on this forum.

 

Does anybody know what is correct?

Keep writing.

Keep doing it and doing it.

Even in the moments when it's so hurtful to think about writing.

I have always gone with Mont Blanc.

 

Just checked out a few Mont Blanc pens, boxes and manuals.

 

The box and packaging are marked

 

Mont

Blanc

 

However, the pens are marked Montblanc on both the nibs and cap band, the manuals and warranty cards also use Montblanc so I'd say it should be Montblanc.

The correct full name of the company off the website (and various other Internet references) is Montblanc Simplo GmbH, so I'd say "Montblanc" is correct.

 

Of course, it's not like we're not going to know what company is being referred to if someone types "Mont Blanc". :)

 

I think it's a also a little confusing because for many years, their logo was MONT (picture of a mountaintop) BLANC, and now

MONT (star)

BLANC

Sure, as long as you ignore the fact that Pelikan also makes pen cases, printer ink cartridges, toner cartridges, thermal transfer rolls, typewriter ribbons, transparencies, stamp pads, glues, correction fluids, papers, paints, inks, crayons, handheld erasers, coloring pencils, finger paints and other things. Personally, I want to see the “Pelikan Paint-mobile” they talk about HERE! Wonder if it looks like the Oscar Mayer wiener-mobile? :roflmho:

PS. Yes they make pens too, just not the nibs. :headsmack:

PS I love Pelikan; I just find the existence of this board game amusing.

Actually, they don't make nibs anymore, they use Bock nibs.

      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
