Montblanc - Baby 0 Safety - Fountain pen

A0000004371

The fountain pen is in an overall condition consistent with its age, retaining its historic character and appeal as a collectible.

The body, made of ebonite with a decorated metal overlay, shows even surface wear and a natural patina, especially visible on the overlay, where micro-scratches, small signs of use, and areas gently dulled by the passage of time can be seen. This aging is entirely consistent with a piece that is more than a century old and reinforces its authenticity.

The engravings remain legible, and the decoration is still clearly visible, preserving its aesthetic value. The cap retains the Montblanc star on top, with normal signs of use but no structural loss.

The original 14-karat gold Montblanc nib is in good condition, with visible engravings and no apparent deformation. The feed is in good working order, and the assembly remains intact.

The retractable Safety system has been inspected and is operational, allowing the nib to extend and retract correctly—an especially important feature in this type of piece.

Overall, this is a complete, functional, and honest example, with signs of use consistent with its age, but well preserved and fully suitable for both collecting and occasional use.
