Montblanc - 221 P (Pocket) - Fountain pen

A0000005301

We put up for auction the most absolute, compact, and highly commented object of high-end vintage writing collecting: the Montblanc Classic 221 Variant pocket fountain pen, in its most iconic, elegant, and functional execution in black precious resin with gold-plated details. This historic piece represents one of the boldest and most aerodynamic design twists of the Hamburg brand, breaking with traditional forms to offer a writing instrument with a short, slender profile, but with extraordinary comfort, lightness, and visual impact.

The design of this German-made fountain pen is a display of high-fidelity aesthetics and executive ergonomics: its body measures extremely compact and portable dimensions of 11.6 cm in length with a stylized thickness of 1.0 cm, offering unbeatable balance and in-hand lightness. It is crafted in Montblanc’s renowned precious resins, delivering a deep black polish of optical quality that cleanly contrasts with the gold-plated rings and the flat, minimalist-styled clip. The ensemble is crowned at the nib with the oversized white star emblem proudly inlaid.

At the base of the body lies sharply engraved the holy grail of its identity: the model 221, which certifies its direct origin from the brand’s high-manufacture workshops. But the true heart of this work of art lies in its nib: a splendid original Montblanc nib, solid 14-karat gold (585) caréné in an M (Medium) point with flawless geometry and flow, designed specifically to offer smooth writing with an unparalleled liquid intensity.
