Product Description
Type Vintage lever filling fountain pen.
Product Name Esterbrook SJ Pen.
Manufacturer and Year Esterbrook, made in USA -- 1950s.
Length 4-13/16".
Filling System Lever filler. We've restored it with a new sac and it's working very well.
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 #1555 steel nib is smooth with a really nice looking feed. The 1000 series of nibs don't have any tipping material. Instead the tines are bent for a "DuraChrome" point. The 1555 nib is catalogued as a Firm Fine officially approved for Gregg shorthand. The nib has "Gregg" written on it.
Condition Superior condition. The pen has low handwear and very nice coloring. There are nearly no marks on the section. No cracks, chips, dents, personalization, or plating wear. We've restored the pen and it's working very well.
