Fs: Esterbrook 9968

Recommended Posts

This nib came to me as mint and unused in the box. I have run it through the USC and checked it with a loupe and there was no trace ink to be seen either during the cleaning or upon inspection. Looking closely at the treads under the loupe it might have been test fitted into a pen at some point. I am confident that the nib has never been used.

I have 5 Estie nibs that have been ground to CI's by Pendleton or Leah at Pendemonium. All but a couple are 9668's. That works fine for me as that's pretty close to my perfect width.

 

Alot more people who like ground nibs like wider stubs.

 

I don't know if anyone has bought this yet, but I'll bet it would might a RIGHTEOUS custom ground

stub/CI.

 

(PS; Trust Me. A nicely ground Estie nib will spank the Estie 9284 "Stub" nib.)

(PSS; A Warning though. It will tend to make most of your other Estie nibs b o r i n g .

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
