Description from the seller

A0000005299

This Montblanc No. 32 mechanical pencil, a coveted collectible piece manufactured in coral red ebony/celluloid with black details, stands as an exceptional testimony of the German brand's vintage era. It is a specimen with undeniable patina and historical appeal, extremely rare in this aesthetic state and condition.

The central body stands out for its intense and distinctive coral tone, preserving a very clean and uniform vintage luster, with no cracks, dents, or notable fissures. The historical value and the piece's authenticity are fully safeguarded by the sharpness of its original engravings:

On one side, it cleanly and deeply displays the official historical imprint of the brand: the name “MONTBLANC” flanking its iconic engraving of the mountain profile.

On the reverse of the body, a perfectly sharp, elegant era inscription in cursive handwriting is clearly visible: “Vive lasm up.”

At the upper area, next to the cap, the model number “32” is prominently engraved with magnificent relief.

The black resin cap turns on the piece, crowning it with the historic Montblanc star emblem cut out at its apex, subtly outlined on the material. The gold clip, with sober and elegant lines, maintains the correct tension and firmness, showing only the patina and the slight logical darkening that the passage of years bestows to the gold plating of this era.

The conical lower nib in black resin completes a slender design, finished by the gold metal mouthpiece for the mine’s outlet, which is intact and in good mechanical condition. The upper rotating mechanism operates with the firmness and smoothness appropriate to the German brand's engineering.

In conclusion, this coral-red Montblanc No. 32 is an authentic archaeological rarity of the brand. A writing instrument with extraordinary character and aesthetic magnetism, ideal both to enrich a demanding collection of Montblanc historical pieces and for lovers of objects with a story to tell.

Happy bidding!
