Here are some of the Deluxe SM (with jewels) and LK (no jewels) metal cap Esties that I have.

Interesting later Esties. The LK have rather soft plastic and often bare posting injury marks (just dont post peoples smile.gif)

Love those SM's AZ, and that Royal Blue in the LK is one of my favorite blues, so nice and dark. smile.gif

 

The Emerald Green one taking a breather, or do you need a cap for it? wink.gif

 

Too bad they couldn't get that posting problem figured out, these could have been real contenders. The SM's especially. I've always found the clips to be a tad bit too tight though.

 

Best-

Thanks for posting this! I'm seeing some colors that I hadn't seen before.

 

Between all of the various models that Esterbrook made, they really did make quite a large array of colors.

 

Best, Ann

Going through my old stuff, I just found the plum one (second from the right) with a 1554 nib. I think it's my new favorite pen.

I just got an LK Deluxe (my first Estie!) at the Atlanta Pen Show from Anderson Pens. Mine's Willow Green—the first one on the left—and I love it tremendously.

I like them too! If only the section would come off a bit more easily! They really are hard to restore...

What's the posting problem with these? Posting ring?

 

I have a couple of pump fillers with posting ring. Since it's there I just use them.

Those pens are really pretty. I love the green ones, and the mustard colored one on the right. :thumbup:

Those are my favorites of the group too!

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
