Could you go back at grab me some King Prawns Steve??

Oh hey,a MB case....Cool!!!

ParisDakarBmw · 9 March 2010, 01:57 PM

Awesome! I knew it would be cool. You have one cool set up there my friend!

Lol-x · 9 March 2010, 01:59 PM

Thanks guys, now I'm thirsty for more................

It is called the Montblanc Unicef Putman 2005 Limited Edition 149.

The pen case is ultra cool. Here is the fully felt lined cigar case.

sleddog · 9 March 2010, 02:03 PM

Very nice....I really like the cigar travel case!!! The piano finish really set's it off....
Congrats on the purchase Steve...

Naples09 · 9 March 2010, 02:11 PM

Very nice Steve! Congrats!

ParisDakarBmw · 9 March 2010, 02:15 PM

I'm in a panic because I have never seen a Montblanc cigar holder. Maybe I just missed the bus, but that's too cool. I'm going to look at an upgrade from the larger leather ones I have. They work great, but that looks awesome!

Lol-x · 9 March 2010, 02:16 PM

Thanks Rob, this is one I've been looking for and waiting for quite some time.

There was recently an auction of one of these at an international auction house and the pen sold for about $1200, plus postage, and taxes, which would have put it close to $1500 all up with insurance.

I got this one in mint condition for less than 1/2 that price, so man I am really feeling lucky with this one. And the pen and pen case are 100% mint never used.

The pen case is what this pen is really about, it looks so cool, the inside of the lid is silk and velvet lined and so is the cigar case, really professionally made with a high degree of detail.

JimC · 9 March 2010, 02:26 PM

Wow! That is amazing! I didn't even know something like this existed! You had me at the bratwurst...

But glad I made it through dessert, to finally get to see something like this.

Congratulations, Steve! That is awesome!

sleddog · 9 March 2010, 02:30 PM

The quality is obvious even to me.....and to have snagged it at such a great price is even better!!!!
How does it write?? Has it hit the paper yet....?

PS:No more food shot's please...It's almost my bedtime and don't need anymore distractions!

Browining · 9 March 2010, 02:33 PM

WOW!!!! What a great find and a great deal. Congratulations.

That's a true beauty! Congrats, Steve! Oh yeah, and the kangaroo comment....priceless!

shandy · 9 March 2010, 03:19 PM

WHat a beauty Steve

What nib has it got on it?
I love the pen case, real class

It is just pushing me closer and closer to 149dom..Hopefully if the new contest comes of that might be the way forward

Lol-x · 9 March 2010, 03:26 PM

Thanks guys

The pen has a medium nib. A bit too fine for my style, but I didn't really buy this for the pen, you see I already have my OBBB nib 149.

Ok, Steve... When you just can't stand it anymore, let me know.

While a "medium" is a bit to heavy for me, I'm sure I might be able to suffer through.

2careless · 9 March 2010, 05:50 PM

Guys this set was release in 2005 and called Montblanc Unicef Andre Putman limited edition. My belief is that there are 4810 of these pen cases made each accompanying a 149 pen. The pen is a standard 149 but the cases are the cool part. During that year they also released 2 other Unicef limited editions for the 149, similar concept - the case is the special thing - Helmut Jahn and Tom Sachs. The Jahn case is a glass case and the Tom Sachs is a paper case that is painted by the artist individually.

Congratulations Steve for scoring this. They don't come to the market often.

JimC · 9 March 2010, 05:55 PM

Thanks for the information. I would love (but know it is rare) to come by one of these 149's.

Skullring · 9 March 2010, 11:15 PM

Beautiful combo Steve. Congratulations.

Numismatist · 10 March 2010, 12:14 AM

WOW! That's an exceptional pen/case combo. I'm drooling over the case. Congrats on finding that one. That's an heirloom pice for sure!

Kokyuryoku · 10 March 2010, 12:33 AM

That's a beauty Steve

JBat · 10 March 2010, 02:49 AM

Great combo, Steve. The 149 is the big MB, right?

buz-lh · 10 March 2010, 03:04 AM

Too cool. Big congratulations.

VetteBandit · 10 March 2010, 03:48 AM

WOW great pen, case and story.

The fact that you got it for a great price is just bonus!

Are you going to ink it or keep it as unused?

sunburst · 10 March 2010, 04:23 AM

Stevo, congrats on fine looking MB Unicef 149.

Come to think of it you did post poll of "which Unicef 149?" last year and 60% voted for Putman.
