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, blending 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 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 elements — clip, ring, and details — maintain a clean, 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, guaranteeing a smooth, consistent, and reliable writing flow, ready for immediate use. The ebonite feed, distinctive of this range, ensures excellent ink regulation.

The cartridge or converter filling system (included) functions correctly, having been tested to ensure leak-proof performance and optimal operation.

It comes with its original Esterbrook presentation 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.

Care recommendations

It is advised to use high-quality fountain pen inks, avoid pigmented inks, clean with lukewarm water if not used for a period, dry completely before storage, keep in a dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, and operate the filling system gently.

Happy bidding!
