Montblanc 223D

This mechanical pencil was one of the last models made by Montblanc in Denmark. Produced from 1954-1958, it was identical to the 223, but with the top portion coved with a gold-filled overlay.

I’ve matched it here in the photo with a de Luxe 275 (see this posting), however, there was another matching pencil for that pen, the 75. Interestingly, the 75 and 223D pencils were presented with the de Luxe 275 in advertisements at the time.

This pencil isn’t complete. There is a gold band missing where the black celluloid meets the gold-filled cap.
