Esterbrook - Estie Honeycomb - Fountain pen

A0000004360

Elegant and very attractive Esterbrook Estie fountain pen in its renowned Honeycomb version, a finish that stands out for its spectacular play of transparencies and warm amber veins, evoking the texture of honey. This is a modern piece that recovers the classic aesthetics of the American brand, combining tradition and contemporary functionality.

The body shows an excellent overall condition, with intact shine and no visible signs of significant use. The resin retains its depth and chromatic richness, with no noticeable opacities or microcracks. The gold-colored finishes —clip and rings— appear clean, with very good luster and no evident loss of plating.

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 correctly aligned.

The cartridge/converter filling system works properly, supplied with the original converter. The pen has been serviced and is operable, ready for use.

The set is completed with its original Esterbrook case, which shows light storage signs consistent with handling, but in good overall condition and perfectly functional.

Conservation recommendations

It is recommended to use high-quality inks specifically formulated 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 for collection.

Happy bidding!
