Here are some of the Deluxe SM (with jewels) and LK (no jewels) metal cap Esties that I have.

Interesting later Esties. The LK have rather soft plastic and often bare posting injury marks (just dont post peoples smile.gif)

Love those SM's AZ, and that Royal Blue in the LK is one of my favorite blues, so nice and dark. smile.gif

 

The Emerald Green one taking a breather, or do you need a cap for it? wink.gif

 

Too bad they couldn't get that posting problem figured out, these could have been real contenders. The SM's especially. I've always found the clips to be a tad bit too tight though.

 

Best-

Thanks for posting this! I'm seeing some colors that I hadn't seen before.

 

Between all of the various models that Esterbrook made, they really did make quite a large array of colors.

 

Best, Ann

Going through my old stuff, I just found the plum one (second from the right) with a 1554 nib. I think it's my new favorite pen.

I just got an LK Deluxe (my first Estie!) at the Atlanta Pen Show from Anderson Pens. Mine's Willow Green—the first one on the left—and I love it tremendously.

I like them too! If only the section would come off a bit more easily! They really are hard to restore...

What's the posting problem with these? Posting ring?

 

I have a couple of pump fillers with posting ring. Since it's there I just use them.

Those pens are really pretty. I love the green ones, and the mustard colored one on the right. :thumbup:

Those are my favorites of the group too!

      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
