Montblanc 146

- Montblanc 146 (F), writes more like an OBB. - Platinum President (F).

They are all generally pretty tough, these pens. Keep them in a good pen presentation box available from ebay/amazon etc box and flush clean them before you store them. Open the drawers regularly to air them out, as celluloid can give off a gas if not aired out (I can't see any true celluloid though here). If you want to keep the sterling pens (Pilot in bottom right and Sheaffer middle of the left section, plus the Parkers with little squares engraved on them, and the gold Montblanc 146 at the left of your Montblanc section) from tarnishing, you could put them in a little sleeve or a light polish every so often.

\- Platinum 3776 Blue (soft fine nib). \- Montblanc Meisterstück 146 LeGrand Bordeaux (medium nib).

My only reservation here is that it is more of the same considering I already have a M600, but I fully concede that the larger nib and overall size will make for a different writing experience. Montblanc 146 - I've wanted one for a long time, but what worries me most is that the writing experience I've had with other MBs have been just so-so. That said it was a long time ago and I'm willing to give it another go. This is probably a pen I'd get used as I can't justify its full retail price.

Montblanc 146 from the 1950s would be my first pen. The price of the pen went up greatly over the duration of the pandemic. I could have saved money then. Anyway, it’s a great pen which I currently own and love a lot.

After trying out a full array of MB 146s from 60s to the latest versions, I found I enjoy the nibs in 90s the most(5 gen? not really sure). The contrast between lapis and vermeil are just amazing.

I bought a Montblanc 146 many, many, many years ago. And it lay in a drawer for the past decade or so. I liked it and the way it wrote, but since I was sitting in front of a computer most of the day, I just didn’t write much with any kind of pen or paper.

Once upon a time there was an old writer reflecting on tools most cherished. Apparently he spent a royal savings on a Montblanc 146 waay too early in his career (high school? ), like basically Turns out he did and that was the only fountain pen he ever bought.
