Esterbrook Estie Honeycomb fountain pen in resin, made in the United States, 14.8 cm long, 1.3 cm in diameter, with a gold-plated steel Stub 1.1 nib, cartridge/converter system and original Esterbrook case, in good used condition.
Description from the seller
A0000004360
Elegant and very attractive Esterbrook Estie fountain pen in its renowned Honeycomb version, a finish that stands out for its spectacular interplay of transparencies and veining in warm amber tones, evoking the texture of honey. This is a modern piece that revives the classic aesthetics of the American brand, combining tradition and contemporary functionality.
The body presents an excellent overall condition, with intact shine and no visible signs of significant use. The resin preserves all its depth and chromatic richness, with no opacities or appreciable microcracks. The gold finishes — clip and rings — appear clean, with very good luster and no evident plating losses.
The gold-plated steel nib, in Stub 1.1 size, is in very good condition, without bends or damage, ideal for expressive writing with variation in stroke. The feed is clean and correctly aligned.
The filling system by cartridge/converter works correctly, delivered with the original converter. The pen has been checked and is operational, ready for use.
The set is completed with its original Esterbrook case, which shows slight signs of storage consistent with handling, but in good overall condition and perfectly functional.
Care recommendations
It is recommended to use high-quality inks specific for fountain pens, avoid pigmented inks, periodically clean 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!
