Description from the seller
Montblanc - vintage 215 - Ballpoint Pen
Germany - Second half of the 20th century
Legendary vintage Montblanc No. 215 ballpoint pen, originally launched in 1955. This historic piece stands out for its iconic 1950s torpedo-shaped form, the black precious resin finish with gold-plated rings, and the striking Montblanc white star on the cap.
Historical and Technical Features
Internal Lever Mechanism (11th Finger): It is known for introducing the innovative patented mechanism in which a lever hidden under the clip activates the feed. By clipping the pen to a shirt or jacket pocket, the fabric presses the clip, forcing the lever to retract the tip automatically. This completely prevented accidental ink stains on clothing.
Compatibility and Writing: Originally designed in the late 1950s to pair with the famous Montblanc 252, 254, and 256 nib pens. Today, these vintage pens are often adapted with modern compatible refills (such as Schneider) to maintain smooth and functional everyday writing.
