Esterbrook JR Pocket Pen

Extra Fine, Fine, Medium, Broad and 1.1 Stub nibs - Only $140!
PLUS FREE USA Shipping
EsterbrookJRCarmine03.jpg
The "J" was Esterbrook's sleek and suave, classic pocket pen that appealed to the practicality of the times. It was a perfect pen for both men and women, and we think it still is today.
EsterbrookJRCarmine04.jpg
This revival of this 1940's and 50's pen has all of the hallmarks of its predecessor, with a few new bells and whistles.
EsterbrookJRCarmine06.jpg
The new "JR" is stylish and refined without being too fancy. It's meant to match your style, as well as it graces your hand. With a refined design, that isn't fussy, it is compact in size, so you can always have one on hand in your jeans or shirt pocket, purse, or briefcase. It can be with you on the go, wherever you go.

Mirroring the original "J"'s production, this new version is offered in three colors: Tuxedo Black, Carmine Red and Capri Blue. Tuxedo and Carmine shine bright in Silver trim and Capri gleams in Gold.

And since we hope you'll hold onto it forever, both the German JoWo nib and the top of the pen have been engraved with the Esterbrook Eternity symbol.
It's Esterbrook's new take on the small, but mighty pocket pen.

Jesus that thing is overpriced. And it doesn't even have the compatibility with the vintage estie nib units.

 

What is the point of this brand's revival, honestly. Selling itself on vintage appeal but not taking the very minor steps required to make it have real vintage appeal (the huge supply of fun, varied, and cheap estie nibs out there)

 

Honestly see basically zero reason to get one of these over an Opus.

Selling a boatload of restored, fairly rare, vintage Japanese gold nib pens, click here to see (more added as I finish restoring them)

The blue and black colorways look pretty sharp.

 

But yeah, it strikes me as expensive-- especially when you can get a piston-filling Pelikan m200 for less. Still, the early reviews are coming in pretty favorable.

I'm not clear what makes it a pocket pen. It looks pretty full-size to me, and the blurbs about it, both here and on PenHero's site, are irritatingly free of measurements.

 

I found on another site that the capped length is 127 mm or 5 inches. Is this what counts as "pocket" in these days of giant pens?

Maybe it’s a bad photo but the cap looks way too thick compared to the barrel.

Actually you can do MUCH better than that. Check out endlesspens.com. I think you can score one for about $120+ with free shipping. And you probably won't have to pay sales tax, at least here in Massachusetts. (They automatically ad it on when you use PP on EB;-(((

I think at this point I have maybe 17 Esterbrook J series pens. The most I ever paid for one was $35 US for a black LJ with a 9284 Signature stub.

Maybe this one comes in a very nice box, though.... ;)

Hi all,

 

It's a really nice looking pen, but I agree with everyone else; the price is too high - just like the price on the 300 Phaeton.

Yeah, especially when a near pristine vintage EB can be had for much less. I am curious to see what the sales numbers for this company are.

 

If a company charges that much for CC pen, then I at least expect a 14k gold nib.

      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
