Montblanc Soulmakers for 100 Years Limited Edition Ball Point

Recommended Posts

My husband has one of these pens which was bought for him when he left a job in 2006. Can anyone give me some background to this pen as I can't find anything out about it as it appears to have been a limited edition. He would prefer a fountain pen so I was also wondering what sort of value this pen holds.

 

Thanks!

It might be difficult to pin point without a little more detail. Montblanc made a few different ballpoints that were from their 100th Anniversary. It could be from the Starwalker collection, Boheme, Historic, or maybe even the Meisterstuck. A picture would be best.

~$2000 in good condition with the box and papers. Maybe a couple of hundred more if it is completely unused and still in the box.

I think it's based on a starwalker and has the diamond in the top.

Well lets see. Amazon has it at $409, so I would guess 300 for a lightly used one. I'm not too good at these estimates, so don't invest too much in my assessment.

Best of luck!

Here is a picture:

This pen is a 100th anniversary Starwalker special edition. It's not a limited edition, but limited production to the year 2006, which means, MB kept producing the pen throughout 2006 as long as stocks were sold. It retailed at around US$550, but could have been found for US$400.

Thanks Darius - most useful info. I guess it's worth looking after it then! I have told my husband to use it and enjoy, but I think he is considering selling it and possibly getting a fountain pen instead - we shall see!

I did a straight swap with this exact same pen for a new MB 149, what a great swap! The 149 is superb.

I have a 149 - indeed a very good swap! The special edition soulmaker doesn't do much for me - but the 149 is superb! A bit heavy for a lot of writing (I am a girl after all!) but I love it for notes and cards. I lust after the Greta Garbo!!

I still have this pen and my husband has decided he wants to sell it. It's brand new, never been out of the box except for me to photograph it above. I have no handle at all on it's value, so could anyone give me an idea and I'll put it into the classified and see if anyone wants it. It is a very pretty pen - but I have a 146 ballpoint I use every day which I like and other than that I use fountain pens.
