The upper right (from 1967) is EF architect.

The lower left (from 1957) is M flex.

 

Both nibs are unaltered originals.

Yesterday I visited London MB Boutique to get repaired two of my MBs. 

MB Mechanical pencil which is Completely  broken. 

My Vintage MB BOHEME ( Non retractable  Pen ) completely  broken and got stuck with an old disposable cartridge inside. They proposed that it should part for Germany Surgery table. But after some conversation they agreed to do something with  in their workshop.

So after some hours they fixed the problem and now the pen and the pencil is back to normal. I am super happy they did the fixing  free of charge as I am a familiar MB person to the shop. 

 

Did this quick writing..

At the office: Jules Verne with Ottoman Azure.

 

Always hate or love with this pen, never a comfortable workhorse.

 

At home: A 149 and the Proust are inked up.

This card reminds me of an old promotional sign of one of the traditional pen shops here in Frankfurt, as the card shows a German sign „Papier-boutique“ and there was the same neon arrow. 
It was called Füller Haizmann in the Schiller Street 😊

Oh my! That's a real beauty and a pen to lust after. What nib did you get?

Beautiful, Perry. I have a 244 in the same color.

Rationalizing pen and ink purchases since 1967.
