Montblanc 1939 News Catalog...

Recommended Posts

Vintage pen catalogs are among my favorite pieces of reference and information.

 

I was able to get the following 1939 News Catalog from Montblanc for Stöffhaas. Stöffhaas was a chain of stores founded in the late 1910's selling Montblanc products only - sort of the first Montblanc Boutiques. Unfortunately previous owners folded the catalog :o

 

Still a wonderful piece of reference:

note the 124 PL is still available together with the new 13X series piston filler pens

Montblanc offered to replace the 3XX series of pens within one year after the original purchase date for a Meisterstück pen for the difference of the selling price

note the Montblanc-Pix Nr. L 72; a luxury version pencil with ornated trim - a matching fountain pen was not available at this moment of time to my knowledge - 56 years later the Voltaire writer's edition pens have been modeled after this pencil

don't you just love the ink bottel and traveling ink well (Füllflasche)? ...unfortunately available ink colors are not listed

 

Enjoy

very cool :thumbup: thanks for sharing

Pens are like watches , once you start a collection, you can hardly go back. And pens like all fine luxury items do improve with time

This is truly wonderful material.

I would have thought this was a later document, closer to 1949 with the beautiful nibs on the 139 and series. I had no idea those nibs were designed so early. Always happy to fill in the blanks.

Thank you for sharing!

Hi Michael,

 

The links are not active. Is it possible for you to re-link? Thanks so much for sharing!

Yes, I need to re-upload to a different platform ... also flickr is stopping its free service if you have over 1000 pictures :-(

 

Will try to find something for future use during the next weeks ...

 

Sorry about the inconveniences!

 

Cheers

Thank you for considering the request - these resources you have shared are so valuable!

 

Is there a reason why you don't consider uploading directly through our FPN platform?

Back in the day when Michael uploaded these, the FPN upload mechanism did not exist.

Hard times don't last, but hard people do.

 

Thank a Veteran.

Wow very nice Michael, thank you, viewing them just now. @Siamackz, you're not able to click on the flickr & instagram link below Michael's post?

      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

      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
