heeeeey
I have a collection already, and a fondness of super ef and posting nibs. I use my pens for drawing mostly, or writing in my tiny daily planer. I'm a collector of all types of pens, I use my rollerballs and mechanical pencils even more than my fountain pens. Brush pens and ballpoints get time in as well.

I'm currently looking for a restored esterbrook j, that's why I made my way here. If you got any leads that'd be appreciated.

Candioa.....
WELCOME to FPG!!!:)
My taste in nibs runs to EF/SEF/UEF, also!! Nibs of this size adorn most of the pens in my collection...
RE: a restored Estie J.....Scope out eBay, Etsy or FPG's own "For Sale" section!! My Estie collection started small -- and is growing steadily!!:)
Your drawings are really neat!! Me....can't draw a straight line without a ruler....!!!:) I leave THAT to my youngest daughter....she has her Mom's artistic talent...
And her Dad's (somewhat warped....) sense of humor....!!;)
Always try to get the dibs....on fountain pens with EF nibs!!

Hello and welcome :)
Love your artwork ~ wonderfully fluid and organic movement you capture there.
I am also a great fan of EF pens.
I second's DASEFnib recommendations. I've purchased some excellent restored Esterbrooks J's from DrickerWoodworking on ETSY if you need a recommendation for a reliable US seller ~ with reasonable shipping rates to Canada (if you need them)

Welcome and I hope you find that Estie. I received mine as a gift and I just love it. No hand fatigue with it at all.

Welcome.
Rick Kranz has Esties from time to time. Never bought a bad pen from him.
