I was given a Esterbrook Relief No7 today, just wanted to find out more info about the pen and whether it was worth anything (or to restore)?

 

Thanks,

Mike :D

Hello, all. The pen arrived safely from the UK - one of the ultra-hard to find in my small collection. If there are any specifications anyone would like about this Relief No 7, please message me or post, and I'll do my best. Kind regards to all, Ellis p.s. the pen restoration is superb - the pictures barely do it justice.

congrats. lovely pen - and beautifully restored. Never quite sure why these things should so excite the juices, but prices for some of the models seem to go through the roof - maybe just scarcity. I have several, but not all complete with their original nib and none is a piston job, though I do have a No. 12 in tiger eye with a C.S. diamond on the clip with R.

Scarsity for sure. Especially for the piston filler.

The 12 series deserves its own thread. Great pens. The clip with R means Relief. They were made by CS.

      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
