Product Description
Type Vintage lever filling fountain pen.
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 A gray that matches what people call pearl gray even though Esterbrook called all their grays, "Gray." It's a little more pink than the pearl grays we usually see but 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 catalogued as Fine Writing for records and charts.
Condition Superior condition. The pen has low handwear and very nice coloring. There are nearly no marks on the cap. No cracks, chips, dents, personalization, or plating wear. We've restored the pen and it's working very well.
