Exploring Vintage Fountain Pens: My Montblanc 220
Montblanc 220
Hey there, pen enthusiasts! Welcome back to the channel for another exciting fountain pen video. Today, I'm thrilled to share with you my latest acquisition—a vintage Montblanc pen from the mid-to late 1960s.
Now, I know what you're thinking. At first glance, it might seem like just another black pen, but trust me, this one's special. Let me explain why.
As a pen aficionado, I've always been drawn to the elegance and craftsmanship of Montblanc pens. However, considering their price range, acquiring one for my collection seemed like a lofty goal. But then fate intervened, and I stumbled upon this gem from Japan on eBay. The Montblanc 220 is a timeless classic, reminiscent of the iconic Lamy Safari or Lamy 2000. Crafted from macron, a durable millable plastic, this pen boasts a unique brushed finish that sets it apart. Despite its vintage origins, the pen arrived in remarkable condition, a testament to its enduring quality.
Let's delve into the details. The gold-filled hardware, the subtle branding, and the meticulously crafted piston mechanism all speak volumes about the pen's design and engineering. And that nib? It's a 14-karat gold marvel that writes like a dream. Writing with the Montblanc 220 is an absolute pleasure. The nib offers the right bounce and ink flow, making every stroke effortless. While it may not be a flex pen, its subtle line variation certainly adds character to your writing.
This vintage beauty has captured my heart, and I'm already eyeing my next acquisition. Stay tuned for more fountain pen adventures as I explore the world of vintage writing instruments.
