Description from the seller



Limited Edition Jonathan Swift
This piece is part of Montblanc's 'Writers Edition' series, in tribute to the Anglo-Irish writer Jonathan Swift (1667-1745), author of notably Gulliver’s Travels.
Reference: 107483.
Year of manufacture: 2012 (Writers Edition 2012).
Limited edition: 14,600 copies worldwide for this 'ballpoint' model.
Materials & design: body and cap in black precious resin or black lacquer, with platinum elements. The cap is stylized as a tricorne (referencing Gulliver), the body decorated with inlays reminiscent of the ropes that tied Gulliver to the island of Lilliput, and the clip evokes the staircase that the mayor of Lilliput had to climb to speak to Gulliver.
Function: ballpoint pen with a twist mechanism or retraction.
Average price / current value
In the collectibles market (in excellent condition, complete with box, documents, etc.), recent listings show prices ranging from approximately €900 to €1500 or more depending on the condition.
A brief history about Jonathan Swift:
Jonathan Swift was born on November 30, 1667, in Dublin. He is one of the greatest English-language satirical authors, an Anglican priest, essayist, and pamphleteer. His most famous work is Gulliver’s Travels (1726), a biting satire of human nature, society, and political abuses. The pen model plays on this universe: the tricorne shape, the symbolic cords of Lilliput, all evoke Swift's adventure and critical spirit.
The pen will be shipped according to the elements of the photo as indicated in number 31 or the last photo.
It will be properly and carefully packed to prevent any damage during transport.
The shipment will be sent with a tracking number and insurance for the value of the item.
I thank in advance the buyer who wins the sale.
