Product Description
Type Vintage lever filling fountain pen.
Product Name Esterbrook J Pen.
Manufacturer and Year Esterbrook, made in USA -- 1950s.
Length 5".
Filling System Lever filler. We've restored it with a new sac and it's working very well.
Color Dubonnet Red with steel trim and a black jewel at each end. This is a deep red and black striated pattern that shimmers.
Nib Dura-crome 1314 "flex" stub steel nib. Although Esterbrook called this flexible, it's more the case that it's springy because the steel is thin. This is a fairly rare and desirable nib.
Condition Excellent condition. The cap and barrel have some microscratches and a few bite marks. The clip has scratches but no pitting. The end jewels are very nice. It's shiny and doesn't look dull. The imprint is nearly worn down, but still visible. No cracks, chips, dents, personalization, or plating wear. We've restored the pen and it's working very well.
