11, Esterbrook Nibs,

[rhr]

The Esterbrook Pen Co. trademark no. 06898 for the name "Columbia Bank" and the number "140", issued Dec 17, 1878, and used since about 1874, is the first of 52 named-and-numbered Esterbrook steel nib trademarks up to the year 1911, and there are more after 1911 in volume 2. I know, I know, most pen collectors are only interested in the Esterbrook fountain pens and the interchangeable nib units that go with them, so here are two much later Esterbrook trademarks, no. 346046 for the name "Re-New-Point", and no. 505010 for "Renew-Point", both spellings said to be used since Jan 22, 1932, but the latter issued much later. This one is for the Andersons. Congratulations.

 

George Kovalenko.
