Montblanc Logo Always Been The Same?

[sweilem]

this might be a silly question, but i want to know whether Montblanc always had the same logo which we know today?

i came across a pen which has the Montblanc 77 marking on the barrel , the pen is very well made, but the thing is that the top logo doesnt look like a Montblanc logo, here is the pics if any can help me.

thanks!

I don't know for your pen ... but some rare Montblanc 149 were made with a triangle logo for the arab markets : https://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/topic/136396-149-with-triangle-cap/

MB also sold pens (particularly ball points) as corporate gifts and advertising and that may well be a Corporate logo.

Actually, it was for the Nazi markets We Arabs are fine with the star

Hello Sweilem

 

I have never seen such MB star! However, rest of the pen is Montblanc Ballpoint Model # 77. This Pen was launched on 1946 and discontinued on 1970.

wow Thanks a lot, i appreciate your help!

[sweilem]

So the conclusion here is that Montblanc had some changes to the logo according to the market, thats what we can call adaptive marketing,,,hehe they succeeded in this strategy without a doubt!

yes you are right,,,hehe

 

 

Minus the 2 blue stripes I meant

Very early pens had a red star.

Absolutely incorrect! Please conduct some serious research to avoid making broad and inaccurate statements. Thank you.

Hello Sweilem, Nice ballpoint. Congratulations! There is currently one of the 149s with the triangle cap on ebay, quite expensive, but a very interesting model. Best wishes, Barry

I am under the impression that most of the triangle pens were made in the Nazi years. Considering that most Arab states gained independence around 1950, hence my presumption.

 

I know see that there were later made models as late as the 1970s. But I can't imagine why related to the Arab market. Yes, I read older threads of members making assumptions Arab market + Star of David blah blah.. that is incorrect.

 

The only state that was particularly anal about such things was KSA- changing the perfume of YSL Champagne to Champage and removing the cross of Vacheron Constantin. I am from the Middle East and old enough to say that I have always seen regular splat MBs sold in our markets since I was a kid.

The star on the cap of the 77 has sharper points and looks a little different from the one on the Meisterstucks. If you do a Google image search, one shows up.

A blue stripe over the star could have been to indicate ink color, but I'm not sure.

 

The only triangle-logo MB's that I've seen in real life or out on the internet are post-1960 models.
