Esterbrook SM and LK

Recommended Posts

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!

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @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

      There is still chemistry for processing regular chrome (positive) films like Kodak Ektachrome and Fuji Velvia, but Kodachrome was a completely different and multistep beast.

      Ah, but how to get it processed - that is the question. I believe that the last machine able to run K-14 (Kodachrome processing) ceased to operate some 15 or so years ago. Perhaps the film will be worth something as a curiosity in my estate sale when I die. 😺

      Take a lot of photos!   If the film has deteriorated or 'gone off' in any way, you can use that as a 'feature' to take 'arty' pictures - whether of landmarks, or people, or whatever.
