Hiya!

 

I have an Esterbrook SJ that has recently develop 2 cracks in its section...

 

BUT

 

I kinda think the SJ is too small....

 

SO

 

I have 2 options....

 

Either replace the section or get a bigger Estie.

 

How big do Esties get anyways?

 

Is there any way I could part out my SJ?

 

Thanks!

Biggest is the J. Larger in diameter and a bit longer. Go there.

What you "should" do is, of course, up to you, but you certainly could try to sell the parts.

Barrels and caps are always in demand.

You might wish to keep the nib unit; it will fit a J size.

 

Good luck!

OK...

 

But is there anybody interested in these parts??

 

(I will try to put em on classifieds.)

 

Thanks...

I am just a "one and only" type of person...

 

... It's tough ....

 

But it keeps the hobby under control.

 

(And I have a NOS M2 and a little Esterbrook advertisement already....)

I wouldn't part it out, as in try to sell the parts individually. Just sell it whole and note the cracked section. Anyone who's into Esties is likely to have an extra section lying around and can get this writing in about 5 minutes.

I would be interested, but I prefer the J as well and will probably sell the SJs and LJs that I have.

 

Cheers.

I was able to trade it for a BLACK J....

 

I don't really like black as an Esterbrook color.

 

If you are interested in trading it for a colored J, (regular J), then please PM me.

      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
