Are ink cartridges of the same gold color also MontBlanc?

Thanks for the interesting post. I hadn't seen those ones before.

Yes, I think so.

 

I have seen golden colored MB cartridges. But I think only the cartidges which have been fitted to the new pen you buy are the golden ones; as far as I know they have not been available as refills.

I recently bought via FPN 30 misc. cartridges, no color choice, and 6 of them are opaque gold like the bottles you show. Nice timing on your posts and fun to see the bottles.

I think MB cartidges would be marked Montblanc on the plastic.

I still have some of black ink I bought in the 1970s (or perhaps 1980s, no later). They are opaque gold without Montblanc or any other marking on the plastic, only on the box. They came ten to a box. I also have some royal blue, bought about the same time, in transparent cartriges. Perhaps the opaque cartridges were used for black and transparent for colors. I have not bought any Montblanc cartridges for a couple of decades so I do not know whether they still package black in the gold-colored cartridges.

This is a great series! The pictures in the four parts should be consolidated and pinned to use as a ready reference.

Sort of reminds me of this:

This is interesting to know; many thanks.

I bought mine almost exclusively from ebay Germany or at EU Pen Shows.

I have one of those in turquoise. Haven't used it lately, but it was still fine the last time I did.

Michael,
Thanks again for another great post that helps to identify the period of an ink. I came across one of these in black and with a small piece of history inside the box: a ticket of sale (I guess) stating that was purchased on June 21, 1986 for 125+5 (tax)=130 ?? I think canadian dollars but I do not know. See attached pictures.
