The Andora edition was made in 2001 on the occasion of the opening of the Montblanc boutique Hannover and was actually officially produced by Montblanc, but remained an individual case that Montblanc did not want to repeat. The value depends strongly on taste: while some collectors feel the Pop Art design to be worthless, others are willing to pay high prices. A serious value estimate is therefore difficult; an indication are the original list prices (e.g. 400 euros for rollerball and ballpoint). For mediation to interested buyers, contact with Tom Westerich, who was involved in the creation of the edition, is recommended.

2001 Limited Edition for
Montblanc Boutique Hannover
Something very special and unique has been created by Montblanc to celebrate the opening of the Montblanc Boutique Hannover on April, 20, 2001. Boutique manageress Ulrike Strathmann convinced the famous PopArt Artist Andora to create his own line of Montblanc items. His designs were then transferred onto the Montblanc products in the Montblanc Factory in Hamburg. Thus, Hannover was able to present a unique and official Montblanc edition, made exclusively for this event.
The money, which flew in in seconds after launching the edition, was donated to the foundation "Teen Spirit Island", taking care of young drug addicts. The head of the foundation, Doris Schröder Köpf, wife of Germany´s current chanceller Gerhard Schröder, was presented a check on the evening of the grand opening of the Boutique.
For sale is a set of all items, only the 149 fountain pen is not included,
So it is a set of:
Rollerball (400 Euro), SOLD
Ballpoint (400 Euro),
Document marker (350 Euro),
Pencase (120 Euro),
Organizer (400 Euro)
and palmcase (100 Euro) - penparadise
Moin "Smokey",
auch wenn es auf den ersten Blick für viele wie ein Fake aussieht, die Story ist wahr und bleibt wohl auch einzigartig. Montblanc hatte sich 2001 geschworen, so etwas nicht noch einmal zu machen.
Was Dein Kugelschreiber wert ist? Nun, darüber kann man trefflich streiten. Für mich persönlich hätte er keinen Wert - für andere vielleicht aber einen hohen. Wer weiss?!? Ich fühle mich von dieser "modernen Kunst" eher verar....
Aber frag mal Tom Westerich, der bei der Entstehung dieser Edition m.W. seine Finger im Spiel hatte. Vielleicht kann er Dir einen Käufer vermitteln.
Mit besten Grüßen,
Axel
