Thanks very much for looking at our listing for this wonderful Montblanc Carlo Collodi Writers Limited Edition Rollerball Pen, which comes with its book style Montblanc presentation box (including outer – this is for the ballpoint version) and stamped paperwork – confirming first purchase on 8th June 2021. The pen has never been used and is presented in wonderful condition – it was simply a retail display pen. Only 8400 were produced and this is number 3426.
Launched in 2011, as the yearly offering from the Montblanc Writers Edition, the Collodi is one of the most striking and recognisable pens from the series. With it’s skeletonised Champagne-tone gold-plated cap and dark-brown precious resin, it’s easy to see why this is one of the most sought-after and collectible writers editions.
The design of the Collodi writing instruments take their inspirations from his most famous work, Pinocchio. The skeletonised cap shows Pinocchio and his companions, the good fairy, the loyal cricket, the shady fox, the deceitful cat and the whale. The shape is a nod to his nose and the screw set in to the clip is symbolic of the joints of this famous marionette.
The pen is fitted with a new blue rollerball refill, if you’d rather use it as a fineliner, then it would just be a case of purchasing the relevant refill – these are widely available online.
