Please take a closer look at this "Double Jewel Ivory Colored" Esty I just won, especially the pic that shows both jewels. I'm guessing a lot of people passed right over it because of its poor description. Never judge a book by its cover!

 

And since I already have a black jeweled nurses pen, now I only need to find the green one!

 

 

:D

Excellent :thumbup:

 

I had it on watch, but got distracted and forgot ... glad you snagged it. Decent price, too!

I see the jewels but don't understand the significance of the colors?

Esterbrook made white pens specifically for Dr's and Nurses. The nurses pens came with either black, red, or green jewels. You would match ink color to The jewel color and that way other nurses and Dr's could tell what shift wrote which notes in a patients charts.

 

I'm not positive which pens color was what shift, but something like black was first shift, red was second, green was third. That's the idea behind them anyway. They are bigger than the purse pens but smaller than regular J's.

 

They are quite a bit more rare than other Esty J's, red and green being even more rare than the black jeweled.

You are right, I had been sleeping, or I would have bid against you.

Nice! :thumbup: Had I seen it, the shipping costs to UK would have put me off. :(

Not sleeping, have the red one already.

      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
