The working Montblanc Simplo Nº 2 fountain pen is made of resin/polyester and measures 12.2 cm long.
Description from the seller
A0000004349
The pen is in excellent overall condition, especially noteworthy given its age and its origins as a piece from the 1920s–30s.
The black ebonite barrel and cap retain a deep, even sheen, with an elegant patina developed over time. There are no visible cracks or warping, and the structure remains solid and well preserved. The engravings, including the distinctive “Montblanc Simplo,” remain visible and legible, adding to its collectible value.
The gold-colored clip shows light, even wear, with partial loss of plating consistent with its age, adding authenticity without compromising its appearance or functionality.
The 14-karat gold nib is in very good condition, well aligned and with no visible deformation. It retains its original geometry and promises a smooth writing experience, with the flexible character typical of these historic pieces.
The safety-type filling system is complete, with the mechanism present and no signs of aggressive restoration. As is usual with pens of this type, it shows signs of use consistent with its age, without affecting its integrity.
Overall, this is a very well-preserved piece, with an excellent balance of originality, functionality, and visual appeal, ideal both for collecting and occasional use.
Care recommendations
Use quality fountain pen inks
Avoid pigmented inks
Clean with lukewarm water if not used for a while
Dry before storing
Store in a dry place away from direct light and extreme temperatures
Operate the mechanism gently
It will be shipped in a complimentary box for proper storage.
Happy bidding!
