Today two billion pens are manufactured each year in the United States alone. Pen manufacturers span the globe from Namiki in Japan to Aurora in Italy to Curtis Australia. When typing pen into the Google search engine over one hundred and twenty four million results come up.
As early as 4,000 B.C. a crude pen was made using a hollow straw. Later around 500 B.C men began using bird feathers and continued with these quills until the 1800's when steel was used to make a much more sophisticated instrument. Later, in the early 20th Century in a small town in Germany a small company was born, Mont Blanc, one of the finest producers of pens in the world today.
Mont Blanc continues to wow and amaze over a 100 years later. There are a number of exquisite pens available, including some of their most popular; the Meisterstuck Classique Ballpoint Pen (Black and Platinum) and the LeGrand UNICEF Special Edition Fountain Pen.
The Mont Blanc Meisterstuck Classique Ballpoint Pen: "Made of black precious resin inlaid with the signature Mont Blanc white star. This pen features three platinum plated rings with embossed logo and a platinum-plated clip with an individual serial number."
The Mont Blanc LeGrand UNICEF Special Edition Fountain Pen has a very special story. With Halloween just around the corner, this seems especially appropriate. Every year growing up, my favorite day of school was Halloween. I was always excited to show off my costume and see what my peers conjured up as well. I loved the change in schedule for the day and, of course, the massive amount of candy that I received and consumed. Another characteristic that I always associated with Halloween was getting the annual UNICEF box. Every year my teacher would hand out flat, orange pieces of cardboard and then proceed to talk about the importance of education and how lucky we were. We would then talk about the children who were not as fortunate. Our teacher asked that when we were to go trick-or-treating to also bring that small orange rectangular box with us and ask for money to donate to UNICEF.
Halloween donations are not the only revenue source for UNICEF; there are many corporate philanthropic gestures. This year, Mont Blanc joins the many corporations who are helping the less fortunate by launching the Signature for Good Programme. Ten percent of the retail sales price of the Mont Blanc Limited Edition Pens in the Signature for Good collection will be donated to UNICEF for educational purposes.
The donations that result from these purchases will contribute to education projects worldwide and specifically will help to combat illiteracy. Currently, the illiteracy rate worldwide for ages 15-24 is a stunning 13%; and worse, the illiteracy rate is at 19% for people over age 24. Approximately one out of five adults worldwide are illiterate!
Mont Blanc has just released its Meisterstck LeGrand and Meisterstck Classique Limited Edition pens in the Signature for Good collection to help UNICEF's important causes. These limited edition pens contain the UN's olive wreath, a universal symbol for peace. A filigree gold-plated wreath adorns the cap and a sparkling blue sapphire representing UNICEF's color of trust and commitment rests atop each pen. By purchasing these fine writing instruments from the Signature for Good collection you too, along with the trick-or-treaters can help support UNICEF and their goal to advance the cause of humanity.
"Every purchase makes a valuable and lasting contribution towards helping illiterate children the world over to read and write." Good job, Mont Blanc. The world will be a better place.
