Product Description
Type fountain pen, lever filler
Product Name Esterbrook LJ Double Jewel
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 #9556 steel nib is smooth with lots of tipping and a really nice looking feed. The 9000 series of nibs have iridium tipping. The 9556 nib is cataloged as Fine Writing for records and charts.
Condition Excellent condition. There is handwear and some microscratching. The imprint is clear but not the nicest Esterbrook imprint we've seen. No cracks or chips, dings or dents, personalization, or plating wear. The pen has been fully restored and it's working very well.
