Product Description
Type Fountain pen
Product Name Esterbrook CH, this is the "purse" pen size. It is a CH because it has a clip. The clipless version is called H. These pens are also called the Esterprook Pastels. This is from the 2nd generation with colored jewels.
Manufacturer and Year Esterbrook, USA -- 1950-57
Length 4-3/8"
Filling System Lever filler (new bladder installed, works great).
Color Tempo Red. Steel trim and red jewels on both ends.
Nib 2668 Firm Medium steel nib. The feed looks very good.
Condition Excellent + condition. The cap and barrel of the pen have microscratches, very common in these Pastels as the plastic was soft. There is the very beginning of a crack in the cap lip, less than 1/2mm long. You can see this in the cap lip closeup picture below, towards the right side. (The less you post this pen, the better!) The lever and trim are excellent. The clip has some microscratches but is overall fairly smooth. No cracks, dings, dents, personalization, or plating wear. We've restored the pen and it's working very well.
