Product Description

Product Name Esterbrook SJ Pen.
Manufacturer and Year Esterbrook, made in USA -- 1950s.
Length 4-13/16".
Filling System Lever filler. We've restored it with a new sac and it's working very well.
Color Copper pen. This is the lighter, and later brown color produced. This color was just called "Brown" by Esterbrook. Steel trim and black jewels on either end.
Nib FINE FIRM #2556 steel nib is smooth with lots of tipping and a really nice looking feed. There is some wear on the slit. The 2000 series of nibs don't have any tipping material. Instead the tines are bent for a "DuraChrome" point. The 2556 nib is cataloged as Firm Fine for general writing.
Condition Excellent condition. There are many tiny marks throughout. The pen doesn't look worn but it is not smooth when you run a fingernail over it. There is a bit of discoloration on the section. No cracks, chips, dents, personalization, or plating wear. We've restored the pen and it's working very well.
