Esterbrook Estie fountain pen in tortoise acrylic resin with gold‑plated trim, model Estie, made in the United States during 2010–2020, with a medium steel nib, 14.8 cm long and 1.3 cm in diameter, cartridge or converter filling system included, in excellent used condition and accompanied by the original Esterbrook case, outer box and documentation.
Description from the seller
Elegant and faithful to the brand's heritage, this Esterbrook Estie in a Tortoise finish represents a modern reinterpretation of classic American design, combining vintage aesthetics with contemporary performance. Its high-quality acrylic resin offers a play of transparencies and nuances in amber and brown tones that evoke traditional tortoiseshell, adding visual depth and a distinguished presence in hand.
The piece is in excellent condition, with virtually no signs of wear. The body and cap retain a deep luster, with no notable scratches or visible marks to the naked eye. The gold-tone elements — clip, band, and details — maintain a clean, uniform finish, with no loss of plating or significant wear.
The gold-plated steel nib, size M, presents an impeccable appearance, with crisp engravings and no deformations. It has been serviced and adjusted, guaranteeing a smooth, steady, and reliable writing flow, ready for immediate use. The ebonite feed, distinctive of this range, ensures excellent ink regulation.
The filling system using a cartridge or converter (included) functions correctly, having been tested to ensure leak-proof performance and optimal reliability.
It comes with its original Esterbrook case in excellent condition, as well as its outer box and documentation, which adds value to the set and makes it especially appealing to both collectors and discerning users.
Care recommendations
We recommend using high-quality fountain pen inks, avoiding pigmented inks, cleaning with lukewarm water if not in use for a while, drying completely before storing, keeping in a dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, and operating the filling system gently.
Happy bidding!
