Product Name Esterbrook Pastels, First Generation (the jewels are black)

Filling System The pen is a lever filler, which we have restored with a new sac. It's working great.

Nib #1551 firm medium (student) nib. It's in great condition, fairly smooth.
Condition Excellent condition with no cracks, chips, dents or dings. This is a dainty pen in a nice color. The cap and barrel have light scratching with a few long thin scratch lines. The barrel has marks caused by the cap lip. The cap band has a few scratch marks as does the clip. The cap jewels have a little scratching around the edges. The imprints are clear.
The Purse/Pastel pens and pencils were made with a more fragile plastic than other Esterbrook pens, and it's common to find cracks in the cap lips, but there are none here. Because of this, we suggest that you do not post this pen, or use extreme caution in doing so.
