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. This is a modern piece that revives the classic aesthetic 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 appreciable opacities or microcracks. The gold finishes — clip and rings — look clean, with very good luster and no obvious plating loss.

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

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

Conservation recommendations

It is recommended to use high-quality inks specifically 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 without direct sun exposure or extreme temperatures, and operate the filling system gently.

A very attractive piece for both everyday use and collection.

Happy bidding!
