AI-assisted summary

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 features. Its high-quality acrylic resin offers a play of transparency and nuances in amber and brown tones that evoke traditional tortoiseshell, providing visual depth and a distinguished presence in hand.

The piece is in excellent condition, virtually without noticeable signs of use. The body and cap retain a deep shine, with no significant scratches or visible marks to the naked eye. The gold-plated elements — clip, ring, and details — maintain a clean and uniform finish, with no plating loss or significant wear.

The gold-plated steel nib, size M, presents an impeccable appearance, with sharp engravings and no deformations. It has been inspected and adjusted, ensuring 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 cartridge or converter (included) functions correctly, having been checked to ensure watertightness and optimal performance.

It is accompanied by 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 attractive for both collectors and discerning users.

Preservation recommendations

It is recommended to use high-quality fountain pen inks, avoid pigmented inks, 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.

Happy bidding!
