Did I see a Hawaii Esterbrook on eBay? I can't find it again.

 

Looking for a black SJ Transitional Esterbrook Pen. (It's smaller than an sj)

I'd say Japanese-made.

Thanks, it looked odd but I thought it might have been a last hurrah for the J pen when Hawaii became a state in 1959.

I've seen Italian and Japanese Vacumatic homages, but not Esterbrook. Were there many Esterbrook copies?

More than one would expect.

 

My favorite is an Eesterbrook

I have one that I was unfamiliar with until I dug around a little. I didn't know that Esterbrook had a smaller division that made Ferber pens. I have one of those, if I have my facts straight.

gweimer1 - I have three of those. Brand new, still in the original packaging, with 'Ferber' on the clip and a medium Esterbrook nib. I'm pretty sure these are from the 1960's. Mine have an Esso/Humble Oil logo on the barrel. Probably advertising giveaways for the executives. I've been going crazy trying to track these down. Can you share what info you have, please?!?!

 

Another post on here said "that Esterbrook and two companies owned by Ferber were merged in 1964. " In fact, except for the logo, mine look exactly like the Ferber pen in the photo.

I'm trying to help my wife's family dispose of these as part of an estate and any info or guidance you can provide would be very helpful. Many thanks.

 

edit: I was able to find more info on my own and started a separate thread here: https://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/topic/294880-ferber-esterbrook-collectible/

      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
