Montblanc Great Characters Homage to "The Great Gatsby" 1925 Limited 
Edition Rollerball - MSRP: $4200 - No Original Box - LE# 314/1925 -
MINT - $2100

The chosen style of the Roaring Twenties elite became a fashion classic 
for successful businessmen – and the inspiration behind this writing 
instrument. The pinstriped design of the cap made of black and white 
lacquer harmonizes with the barrel finished in precious black lacquer. 
The apparent power of money is symbolized in the edition by the 
platinum-coated clip which takes the form of a money clip. Its rounded 
opening is resplendent with the initials of Jay Gatsby as a rhomboidal 
gold colored Art Deco monogram. The myth of the American dream and 
the design of the often stylish hip flasks of the Art Deco period are 
referenced by the cone which imitates the engraved screw cap of a flask 
and the fine rings in the colors of the American flag encircling it. 
The crowning Montblanc emblem is made of mother-of-pearl, a material 
whose iridescent colors and shimmering glow inspired some of the most 
elegant creations by jewelry designers of the Art Deco period.
