Hello all!
I'm not a hardcore Estie person, so this may be a silly question. What's the general word on Mexican Esties? How do they compare in pricing to American ones?
Thanks

Minor (almost negligible) markup.

Ok, along those lines.
As I understand it, Esties were made in the US, UK and Mexico.
Has anyone compared like colors and models from the different locations so far as to how
closely they "held true" to each other? Are the nibs the stock Estie nibs? Are the colors and
patterns the same?
Thanks,
Bruce in Ocala, FL

The Esties were made in Brazil too. They were made only (so far I know) in LJ size and in pastel colors dark grey, turquoise blue and a bluish green). The filling sistem used was both lever filler and aerometric (squeeze) filler.
Cheers.
Luciano, from Brazil.
P.S.: If someone would like to trade a mexican or a english estie for a brazilian one, I'm open to offers.
