Montegrappa Limited Edition Monopoly 85th Anniversary Fountain Pen

Montegrappa Limited Edition Monopoly 85th Anniversary Fountain Pen

Ever since its launch, MONOPOLY has been a staple of family fun and a by-word for tycoon style. Now, Montegrappa celebrates 85 years of the world’s favourite board game with two dazzling anniversary designs – each the centrepiece of a special, private-edition gameboard. A glittering two-volume issue channels the thrills of the iconic property-trading game with typical Italian bravado. Detailing on MR. MONOPOLY and 85^TH ANNIVERSARY displays affection for a game that, since 1935, has provided millions with an entrée into the world of wealth creation. Designed with all the playful extravagance of MONOPOLY money, each handcrafted volume uses vivacious, art-deco styling to echo the game’s 1930s origins – also a golden age of pen design. Lost-wax casting and low-relief engraving articulate the game’s rich visual language on options of sterling silver (85 fountain pens, 85 rollerballs) and 18K gold (8 fountain pens, 5 rollerballs). MR. MONOPOLY’s famous top hat and cane combine in a finial/clip pairing with maximum pocket presence: a setting of five gemstones (zirconia or diamond, depending on option) brings added glitz to the game. Gems also feature on the barrel deco of 85^TH ANNIVERSARY. Every Montegrappa MONOPOLY Limited Edition is the centrepiece of a special, private-edition 50x50cm wooden gameboard, accompanied by eight sterling-silver player tokens. Made with winning moments in mind, writing instrument and play pieces can be stowed safely in concealed travel compartments. Few inventions have been more successful at bringing families to the table than MONOPOLY. First marketed by Parker Brothers on 5 November 1935, sales of more than 300 million copies have seen it become not only the world’s best-selling game, but also a fixture of language and popular culture.
