Esterbrook Estie Honeycomb fountain pen in amber translucent resin, made in the United States, length 14.8 cm and diameter 1.3 cm, in good used condition with minor signs of age, with a gold-plated steel nib in Stub 1.1 size and a working cartridge/converter filling system, complete with its original Esterbrook case.
Description from the seller
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 firm, blending tradition and contemporary functionality.
The body presents 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 noticeable microcracks. The gold finishes — clip and rings — are clean, with very good luster and no evident plating loss.
The nib, stainless steel coated in gold, 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 properly, supplied 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 light signs of storage, appropriate to handling, but in good overall condition and perfectly functional.
Care recommendations
It is recommended to use high-quality inks specifically for fountain pens, avoid pigmented inks, clean periodically 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 for both daily use and collection.
Happy bidding!
