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 veining in warm amber tones, evoking the texture of honey. It is a modern piece that revisits the American firm's classic aesthetic, 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 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 wear.

The gold-plated steel nib, in Stub 1.1 size, is in very good condition, with no deformations or damage, ideal for expressive writing with line variation. The feed is clean and correctly aligned.

The cartridge/converter filling system works correctly, 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 slight signs of storage, appropriate to handling, but in good overall condition and perfectly functional.

Care recommendations

It is recommended to use high-quality fountain pen inks, avoid pigmented inks, clean periodically 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!
