After putting it off to long I decided to gather all my Easterbrook fountain pens. Put them in working order and decide on which ones I am going to keep.

 

After I finished 3 days later I decided to take a family photo of all my pens.

 

When I was looking at the photo I noticed something that did not fit in the photo.

 

Lets see who is first to pick out what does not belong in the photo below........

 

Good luck!

Whatever the non-Esite section is on the first nib. Nice layout!

I think you meant to say "the Renew Points are contaminated"

An all metal Esty? Or is that a grey Esty with metal cap and the pic is just playing with my brain?

To my knowledge, Esterbrook did not manufacture towels.

Well, I don't know, first nib up in right side with a small protuberance destined to insert cartridges or piston feeders seems not belong to there.

Penrivers and Ocalaguy, Got it correct the nib in the top right hand corner is a Sheaffer Nib. However Jdllizard is correct the all metal one is felt tip marker not a fountain pen and last JonSzanto is correct Easterbrook did not make towels.

 

I like this game, thanks for playing.

 

Here are few more close up photos for your viewing pleasure.

If it was my collection I would keep:

 

The blue dollar

The black tranny

And one each SJ, LJ, and J - whichever I like best (color and condition).

The Dollar pen has Electa-Point Flex nib so I will keep it and the Black Tranny has a 2048 nib I installed on it boycotts you hit two of the five. They both write very nice in my hand. My avatar was drown with the Dollar Pen.

I have a question. Is there a reason we are calling these Easterbrook Pens?

I've bought Easterbrooks on eBay, and they looked just like these.

And a quick search just turned up a surprisingly similar RESTERBROOK.

That blue dollar is sure purty, I was going to ask about it too. I can see why you'd want to keep it. It's a stunner.

      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
