\"Montblanc\" \"32\" Black> German Fountain pen Gold 14K nib c.1961\'s w/Orig. case For Sale

In 1908\'s, three gentlemen from Hamburg, Germany, founded what would become Montblanc. In the beginning,
it was known as the Simplo Filler Pen Company—“filler” because their pen featured
a filling mechanism that set it apart from desk-dip pens,
which was what most of the world used at that time.
It wasn’t until 1910\'s that the firm released a pen with the Montblanc name on it—in 1924\'s, Montblanc was added to the company’s name.
Mont Blanc, of course, is a mountain in France, on the French-Italian border.
But the French have always been considered chic in Europe,
so it made sense for a German pen company to name one of its models, and eventually its company,
after something French. When it came to marketing,
Montblanc’s Claus Voss was every bit as smart as George Parker and Walter Sheaffer,
the two geniuses of North American pen manufacturing.
If calling a German pen by a French name would help it sell better, then Voss was certainly willing to do it.
According to Voss’ daughter’s memoir, her uncle suggested Montblanc at a card game.
The company had moved from a pen with a plain red cap, to a red star on the cap top,
to a white star on the cap top. The uncle supposedly said to his brother-in-law,
“You should call your pens Montblanc because they’re big and black on the bottom and white on top like Mont Blanc.”
Mont Blanc is the tallest mountain in Europe, and it’s perpetually snowcapped.
This pen would be the pinnacle of quality!It was produced circa 1961‘s.
