Florence Pen Case

[Blueberry567]

Hello, I'm looking for some information on montblanc's Florence pen cases. Could be anything at all such as: what years did they start and cancel production, all the different types of finishes and colours.

Thanks

All I know is that they are very nice and offer excellent protection.

I recall 2 color choices (black and burgundy), 2 sizes (one and two pens), and two finishes (smooth and aligator). I think list prices were like $180 to $240. That's from memory so could be off.

I am fortunate to have two examples.

 

One is a single case in black with smooth leather and the other dual burgundy in alligator.

 

Both were purchased as NOS over ebay.

Very nice. This pencase is in a class of its own.

I have a few of these, but mine are all black. I sold my brand new bordeaux one.

 

There is one disadvantage to the two pen case: the leather divider only goes part way down the case, so doesn't keep your pens from touching each other at the bottom.

 

It's not too difficult to fix this by simply glueing in another piece of leather from where the original piece stops.

 

(I never clip my pens to the case like Nathan does either. I just don't like the idea of forcing the clip away from the pen that far, and it marks the case surface.)

If I'm not mistaken, there was a recent reiteration of this Florence pen pouch some years back. The recent one came with 1 pen pouch with alligator pattern in three colours which one them is mocha colour. The difference between the old and recent would be the location of montblanc logo and the recent pouch would spot a ring around the logo.

Is mine a fake then since I believe mine is the 2-3 pen case and it has no pen dividers?

I don't have one either and I'm certain mine is genuine.
