A silver Montblanc fountain pen once owned by Singapore's first prime minister, Lee Kuan Yew, sold for US$360,000 at an auction in Singapore. The pen, a Montblanc Meisterstuck No 146, drew 111 bids and sold for nearly 10 times its highest valuation. The pen was first sold in 2003 for S$52,000 and the proceeds supported teen girls. It was re-auctioned more than two decades later.
