Montblanc Meisterstück Classique Bordeaux mechanical pencil, made in resin with gold-plated fittings, serial CI1013775, from Germany, dating to the Fine XX century, 12 cm long and 1.2 cm in diameter, fully functional with a rotating mechanism for lead advance and signs of prior use noted.
Description from the seller
We present at auction a refined and elegant writing instrument: the Montblanc Meisterstück Classique mechanical pencil, proposed in the fascinating and sought-after Bordeaux Burgundy tone, enhanced by bright gold-plated finishes.
The body and cap of this iconic pencil are crafted from fine glossy Bordeaux resin, creating a warm and sophisticated contrast with the gold details, including the clip, the lower cone, and the three decorative rings. On the central band is finely engraved the collection’s Meisterstück identification inscription, while the cap top is crowned by the unmistakable emblem of the white star. The images showing the instrument disassembled confirm perfect structural integrity and the presence of the internal rotation mechanism for advancing the lead.
The conservation state of this specimen is assessable as in excellent overall condition, maintaining full mechanical functionality and timeless charm. In strict compliance with our policy of total transparency and as clearly evident in the macro and close-up photographic documentation, there are evident and widespread signs of prior, constant use. In particular, the Bordeaux resin surface and the golden conical tip show light superficial scratches and signs of use due to wear over time. These marks bear witness to the object's authentic life without compromising its overall beauty.
