AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

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. This is a modern piece that revives the classic aesthetics of the American brand, combining tradition and contemporary functionality.

The body presents an excellent overall condition, with intact shine and no visible signs of significant use. The resin preserves all its depth and chromatic richness, with no opacities or detectable microcracks. The gold finishes —clip and rings— are clean, with very good luster and no evident plating losses.

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 appears clean and correctly aligned.

The cartridge/converter filling system works correctly, delivered with the original converter. The pen has been serviced and is operative, ready for use.

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

Conservation recommendations

It is recommended to use high-quality inks specifically for fountain pens, avoid pigmented inks, periodically clean with warm water if not used for a while, dry completely before storing, keep in a dry place away from direct sun and extreme temperatures, and operate the filling system gently.

A very attractive piece both for daily use and for collection.

Happy bidding!
