Description from the seller

A0000005784

PORTAMINAS MONTBLANC MEISTERSTÜCK CLASSIQUE 165 (ALEMANIA): We present at auction the most recognizable and prestigious writing instrument in the corporate world, this time in its coveted and elegant mechanical pencil version (Portaminas): the Montblanc Meisterstück Classique 165. A true status symbol, ideal for technical drawing, sketches or precision writing.

Its body is turned in Montblanc's famous "precious resin" in a deep black color, which offers a warm touch and exceptional shine. This material contrasts wonderfully with the rich gold finish present on its iconic clip, the nib and the three-ring band, where the engraving "MONTBLANC - MEISTERSTÜCK" proudly reads.

Crowning the piece, the unmistakable emblem of the white snowy star certifies its noble German artisanal lineage. The mechanical pencil operates via the infallible and smooth continuous twist mechanism typical of the house to extend and retract the lead.

Condition (Expert Review)
Please bidders observe carefully the photo gallery to verify the magnificent condition of this piece:

Resin: The black precious resin maintains a spectacular shine. It shows no cracks, breaks or bite marks, showing only light micro-scratches ("hairs") typical of ordinary desk wear.

Gold plating: The gold bath on the clip, the rings and the nib preserves a warm and excellent color, with no evident plating loss.

Mechanism: The twist mechanism advances and retracts the lead with total fluency. The tip guide tube is perfectly straight. (Note: Sold as is, without original case, containing leads inside ready to write).

Shipping
The item will be carefully protected and securely packaged, with insured shipping and an international tracking number.

An excellent opportunity to add to your day-to-day the ultimate pencil, a classic of German engineering that never goes out of style! Good luck to all bidders!
