MONTBLANC 149 VERY EARLY 14 C NIB - SOLID EBONITE FEEDER - 1960s/1970s

Ever since its introduction in the 1950's the 149 has been one of the most desirable models by Montblanc.

The model has undergone a number of revisions in the course of decades with many details such as nib,  feeder, shape of the section, clip and mechanism, being slightly modified. 

Dating a Montblanc 149 is not always easy and immediate although a few details can be taken as a reference  such as the nib,  type of feeder, shape of the section, type of mechanism, length and design of the clip etc.

This 149  is a very nice example of 149 models in resin of the 1960s till the early 1970s The pen has a single-piece fluted section and a beautiful three tone 14 C nib. The ebonite feeder is still very similar to the bump feeder found on celluloid pens and the turning knob has a black thread. The clip has a short relieved line like the ones on the early models in celluloid.

The pen comes with its original presentation box, continuing a bottle of ink ( partially full)  and it is stickered F.

Really  a very rare find!

Note: the writing sample says late 1970s, but it should be late 1960s. My apologies!
