The "two-digit" 1960-ies Montblancs are not as sought after (and not as expensive) as other models. This one, I got on-the-cheap. But it was completely clogged and the piston was stuck. Some cleaning and polishing was all it needed to get in great shape again.
Bringing an old pen back to life
I got this attractive jade, no-name, fountain pen at a flee market. It didn't work: it had probably been lying unused for decades, its ink sac was petrified and the lever was stuck. All it needed, though, was some love and a new sac. Sure, there are scratches and discolouration, but still a very nice pen. From material, style and filling mechanism, I'm guessing it’s at least 75 years old

So far I've been mostly shitposting and making things for random cool people, but I have some proper interests, too.
