Product Description
| Type | Fountain pen and pencil set. |
| Product Name | Esterbrook Safari |
| Manufacturer and Year | Esterbrook, USA, 1957-58 (they started using metal caps after the first year of manufacture, because the plastic caps cracked very easily.) |
| Length | Pen 5 1/2", Pencil 5 1/4" |
| Filling System | The pen is a cartridge filler. It takes Esterbrook cartridges (see below), and looks like it will be compatable with your normal, international cartridges too. The pencil extends lead in the traditional, twist method, and takes 0.9mm leads (we'll include a packet). |
| Color | Light red plastic body and cap, with chrome trim on both the pen and the pancil. The color seems to have faded to a light burgundy. |
| Nib | #2668 firm medium nib is in good condition, but when we tried to unscrew it it was difficult, so we stopped, not wanting to break it. It's probably changable like normal Esterbrooks, but we haven't verified that. |
| Condition | Very nice condition, with some light hand wear on both the pen and the pencil, and a couple very small scratches on the cap of barrel on the pen. Both the pen and pencil are in very nice working condition. |
