IMPORTANT:
- These pens are restored before I bought them as a set from the seller. There is the Blue one from the same set, that I am keeping. I filled up with ink and I've been using it a couple of days without any problems at all (absolutely love it).
- I have inspected one or two of these by taking out the nib section and peeking inside the barrel with my flashlight: The new sac looks clean and nice, and the lever compresses it nicely
- I also dip tested all of these 4 pens and they all write well. I did *not* ink them up.
- All of these 4 pens are gorgeous cosmetically. Proofing to me that there is no ugly Esterbrook J colors. I do not claim these to be perfect because these are not NOS. But I'd be happy to keep any of it. I chose the Blue one because I like the nib characteristics the most.
With that said, here are the ones for sale:
1. SOLD
Color: Red
Nib: 9460 Manifold M (Carbon Copies)
Note: To my eyes, this M is closer to Fine. Very crisp lines, some line variations with pressure
Price: $35
2. TRADED
Color: Green
Nib: 9968 Firm B
Note: Traded
Price: $30
3. https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/611/22377155922_0a3ef83c8d_b.jpg

Color: Black
Nib: 9314-F Relief F Stub
Note: This pen feels more substantial than the others. The F nib is crisp, nice, and with quite a bit of line variation

I prefer US buyers, but I will entertain international offer to buy as a set (all 2).
