Case For Two Mb 149

[reduziert]

Hello,

 

I own 2x MB 149 and some other MBs. Want to carry my 149ers safe to my job. Do you know or recommend(!) any case for two of these big boys?

 

Thank you for all hints.

Ive been using a leather dual cigar case for this purpose. Something very similar to this: Black 2 cigar Travel Leather Case Holder https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CLVN7JM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_U-uCAbJ9CPRN3

Search Montblanc leather cases or something similar on eBay. You'll find what you are looking for.

I have a couple of these 2-pen pen boxes from Aston Leather.

I had the little loop for the top flap come lose on one, but it works fine without it. Big enough to hold a 149 in each slot.

I've been using Waterman cigar style cases for quite some time and love them.

Recently I found a few that are great for large pens like MB 149 pens. They can carry 2 MB 149 easily and they can even carry larger diameter pens like Delta Dolce Vita oversize pens.

I am selling some of them in the classifieds here.

I use the old Delta Markario cases. NOS and gently used are often available. Chatterley Luxuries is a good source of consignments.

two-pen cases don't work for me since my EDC is 2x149, 2x146 and 2xMPs. I use two 3-Pen cases.

Do you put one of each in each case? Or two like models in one case, with an orphan? That would drive my compulsion batty not to have matching pens in a case! Just my hang-up though, and why I seem to be to buy pens of the same model in pairs.

I put 2 149s and a Legrand pencil in one case and 2 146s and another Legrand pencil in the other case. All FPs have different sizes of nibs, and different colors of ink.

 

The two 146s are early 70s EF and OB pens. I use a few different 149 pens, but they are all early 1960s models with a good variety of nib sizes. From a cost and utilitarian perspective, this is my favorite vintage.

Which 3 pen case do you prefer? I've got one from Nock Co (https://nockco.com/cases/lookout) and I like its bright colors which contrast with the subtle monochromatic aesthetic of the MB.

I use the 3 pen leather zip case. I couldn't find a photo of the exact model, but it looks something like this : http://i.pinimg.com/736x/e3/2b/28/e32b28640c16c93b08b446015599e24e.jpg . You could buy them for a song on eBay, back in the day.

I am a fan of the Extreme two pen pouch with zip as it takes 149s and keeps the pen apart. My only slight concern is if the pen clip will loose its spring over time.

Thank you for all the great advices.

Also take a look at the Montblanc Florence cases, i have a couple and the craftsmanship is extraordinary.

This Montblanc flip flap case is what i use to hold my149s.

I like these Florence cases too. They are plenty big enough for two 149 sized pens. Mine have had an extra flap of leather added below the original one in the centre, so that the pens are protected all of the way down their barrels.

I had a MB Sienna 2 pen case but I'd returned it after there were no lining and the separator is only at the top.

Got the Visconti 2 pen zip case which have soft lining and keeps my two 146/9 apart for half the price of the MB case.

The big MB cases are always the way to go but it you want something a little different, my father uses a leather iphone case, his has a suede lining and it just leaves the tops of the pens stuck out like Dizzys pic above and was very cheap, less than $6 in Tampa from memory.

Thanks for the tip Chrissy!
