Fs: Very Nice Black Esterbrook Sj With 9555 (Firm Extra-Fine) Nib.

Recommended Posts

Up for sale is a very nice Esterbrook SJ in black. The pen is all fixed up and ready to write! Cosmetically, it is in very nice shape, with minor/normal wear (minor scruffs and small scratches) from use over the years. There is some very minor "shrinkage" around the cap lip, but it's hardly noticeable as you can see in the pictures. The hardware, top and bottom jewels are in good shape, and the "Esterbrook Made in U.S.A." imprint is still clearly readable. It features a 9555 (firm extra-fine GREGG) nib that lays down what I would call a nice, wet F line. It's an excellent writer, and very smooth, especially for a fine nib! And, as you can see in the photos, it's a very handsome pen.

 

Asking $37.00, including shipping to anywhere in the continental U.S. International buyers are welcome, but there may be a small additional shipping charge. I'm also open to trades, so just ask. I collect both vintage and modern pens. You can either respond via PM or email me at davef200@gmail.com.

      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
