Product Description
Type fountain pen, lever filler
Product Name Esterbrook LJ Double Jewel version
Manufacturer and Year Esterbrook, USA -- 1950s.
Length 5-1/8"
Filling System Lever filler (new bladder installed, works great).
Color A gray that matches what people call pearl gray even though Esterbrook called all their grays, "Gray." It's not dark enough for us to call it dawn gray. Steel trim and black jewels on either end.
Nib FINE FIRM #2556 steel nib is smooth with lots of tipping and a really nice looking feed. There is some wear on the slit. The 2000 series of nibs don't have any tipping material. Instead the tines are bent for a "DuraChrome" point. The 2556 nib is cataloged as Firm Fine for general writing.
Condition Excellent + condition. There's a few microscratches throughout. Overall it looks very clean and nice. No cracks or chips, dings or dents, personalization, or plating wear. The pen has been fully restored and it's working very well.
