Esterbrook is one of the greatest names in American pen history. Founded in 1858, by their peak they were making 216 million pens a year. Unfortunately, as the market changed, Esterbrook went out of business in 1971. Now they're back, with the name brought back and the designs reinvented by Kenro Industries, who have plenty of experience of bringing back or continuing famous pen brands.
The Estie is inspired by Esterbrook designs from the 1930s, using some beautifully machined acrylics - the black is basic and understated, while the more colourful patterns are bright and eye-catching.
The Esterbrook Estie Sea Glass is inspired by the coastal treasures that wash ashore during low tides, shaped over time to give a smooth frosted texture. Made to celebrate the shores of Esterbrook's birthplace and part of the core Estie range, this pen is for all seasons. The Sea Glass has a beautiful blended green and blue acrylic barrel which matches the name perfectly. Cushion cap closure and a highly polished finish.
An added option with this pen is a 'Custom Gena' nib created especially for Esterbrook by Gena Salorino. This is a medium stub based on the vintage Esterbrook 9314M nib. It's smooth and friendly enough for everyday use, not too big, and gives your writing some flair. Special order only.
The oversize version is a truly substantial pen! 155mm long capped, 185mm posted. Weighs 33g. Supplied in a gift box with a converter for use with bottled ink, and will also take standard pattern ink cartridges.
