How About Some Estie Pics

[jacksterp]

I'll start with this beauty of an SJ. Really enjoy this pen - writes immediately even if unused for weeks.

Paper is Ampad Gold. Although I don't have any problems per se with the paper, some inks "refuse" to dry on it - i.e. PR Ebony Green.

Here is a set I got a few days ago.

I have been wanting one of those. Just waiting for the right one to come along.

Great looking Esties.

Procyon - that pair is pure magic - very nice!

[DanDeM]

A couple of $1.50's and...




... a Dollar Nurse set,



and an SJ Clergy

[KrazyIvan]

Wow, love the green versions!

[jacksterp]

DanDeM - positively beautiful pens and very nice photos.

Thanks!

I posted this photo in another thread, but I'll post it here, too. Here is my bandless copper Dollar Pen with a 2284 broad stub nib (next to a modern Franklin Christoph and a Nakaya):

I have a certain fondness for little Esties

I love all of these. Great to see!

Some Reliefs, made in England for Esterbrook by Conway Stewart. The line was in production
from the '30s into the '50s. The two Morocco Reds differ in that pen on the right has a red
casein band at the cap end, the one on the left does not.







Unlike stateside made pens, these all have 14k nibs.

Enjoy

Here's a shot of my Estie Desk set at work. Not very actiony since it is in it's holder but still...

DanDeM - those reliefs are outta this world. I have never seen anything like them before.

Thanks a million for those pictures!

My contribution to keep this thread going:

Dollar Pen


Desk Pen in Sand


Don't know too much about this but I picked it up at an antique shop a few months ago:

[jacksterp]

Both the dollar pen and desk pen look very nice. I'm especially fond of the desk pen.

The paper (?) clip looks a real bruiser!

Thanks for the pics.

[gweddig]

The clip is heavy duty, what you can't see in the photo is the ball bearings that act as the hinge between the plates. I imagine the crew that assembled these likely had strong fingers.
Thanks for the comments.

I have used a No. 20 clip as a money clip for probably five years now. Super sturdy, good size for your pocket, and if you have too many cards to fit comfortably within the clip, you have too many cards!

Oh, and they made a No. 40 too, huge clip!
