Montblanc 1 Baby BHR Safety Fountain Pen 1920 ' S. 14C F/M Flex Nib. Serviced Rare
Item History & Price
Made in Germany from 1910's to early 1920's in this exact form. This wonderful little pen is in amazing pristine condition. Ultra rare to find BHR (Black Hard Rubber) pens so clean. I adore this pens HUGE White Star on the Caps top. These are my favourite Stars. Made of White Casein with BHR surround. I also love this pens practical size. Big Baby size. Small but still fantastic to hold. I found it ultra easy to write with. Pens don't have to be HUGE. This pen is small but writes far better than 99percent of ALL pens EVER made in history. Its ability to write is not compromised whatsoever by its size (size 0 and 00 pens are too small in my opinion to actually write with). Indeed this pens Original 14C Number 1 Nib is a simple JOY to use. MINT condition nib with zero damage or repairs etc. Its Iridium tips are as new. Good to last several more lifetimes.
Writes with a Fine to Medium Fine line that has Fine line side stroke at normal pressure. Perfect for everyday writer. This nib also has flexibility that allows for even more line width variation on the down stroke when varying levels of pressure is applied. Can flex from F to BB. Beautiful Flex writer full of personality. Very creative nib. The flex is also very user friendly in that it is not Soft, Loose or Twitchy. ONLY flexes upon user command, Never by itself. My favourite type of flex. Practical for daily use. Beautiful handwriting pen. Grade A+++++++++++++++Nib.
The pen itself is made of BHR (Black Hard Rubber). Made in Hamburg for Germany market. Sold in Hamburg at Stoffhass. Stoffhass was the main retailer of Montblanc pens, Ink and Stationary etc in Germany throughout the 1910-30s. If you bought a Montblanc pen in Germany at this time no doubt it would have been from a Stoffhaas store. Very rare to find such a complete set of good imprints on one of these. Easy to read still. Rare!
The Size 1 Safety is one of the smallest pens ever made. Baby size. Not as small as size 0 but in my opinion the smallest yet still practical size money can buy. This little chap might be compact in size put boy does it pack a serious punch when it comes to the business of writing. Wow this pen is a simple JOY to write with. Designed to fit ANY size pocket, purse or bag. They also fit inside the side Loupe of Personal Organizer, Note Pad and Diary etc etc. Perfect travel pen for postcards etc. Just beautiful to hold.
These Safety pens are Eye Dropper or Pipette filler. To fill could not be any easier. Simply unscrew off the Cap. Hold pen upright so you can see down the barrel front hole. Now take a pipette of ink and squirt directly inside the barrel until 80percent full. Now extend the nib by turning the Blind Cap (Tail End). Done. Ready to write. When finished simply retract the nib back inside by turning the Blind Cap reverse and then screw the cap back on. No need to empty ink out. All new cork seals inside makes this 100 year old water tight as new. Leak free. Very rare to find so perfectly functioning. Fabulous example. Beautiful pen.
