Description from the seller
A0000004360
Elegant and highly attractive Esterbrook Estie fountain pen in its renowned Honeycomb version, a finish that stands out for its spectacular play of transparencies and veining in warm amber tones, evoking the texture of honey. It is a modern piece that reclaims the classic aesthetics of the American brand, combining tradition and contemporary functionality.
The body shows an excellent overall condition, with its shine intact and no visible signs of significant use. The resin retains all its depth and chromatic richness, with no opacities or noticeable microcracks. The gold finishes — the clip and rings — appear clean, with very good luster and no evident plating wear.
The gold-plated steel nib, in Stub 1.1 size, is in very good condition, without deformations or damage, ideal for expressive writing with line variation. The feed is clean and properly aligned.
The cartridge/converter filling system functions correctly, supplied with the original converter. The pen has been serviced and is operational, ready for use.
The set is completed with its original Esterbrook case, which shows light storage signs, appropriate to handling, but in good overall condition and perfectly functional.
Care recommendations
It is recommended to use high-quality fountain pen inks, avoid pigmented inks, clean periodically with lukewarm water if not used for a while, dry completely before storing, keep in a dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, and operate the filling system gently.
A very attractive piece for both daily use and collection.
Happy bidding!
