(Claimed) Copper Esterbrook SJ to a good home

[InkyProf]

Claimed!

 

I have a very nice copper Esterbrook SJ, purchased for not much on the assumption that it was unrestored, but when I opened it up to replace the sac, I found that it already had what appeared to be a new sac installed, so I talc'd it, reassembled it, and tested it; it seems to work fine. But I've decided to focus my Esterbrook attention elsewhere, so if you'd like it, I'll gladly send it to you. I can send it with a firm extra fine (9550), firm fine (2556), or firm medium (2668) nib; just let me know your preference. First to claim it here gets it (my only request is that you not claim it if you only intend to sell it). Happy writing!

Thanks.  I have a small collection of Esterbrooks, but not that color.  I would LOVE it with the medium nib!

Done! Please PM me your mailing address, and I'll get it out to you on Monday. I hope you enjoy it!

I haven't been on FPN network much lately. So nice to see your awesome giveaway, @InkyProf! Glad it found a new home. The Pay it Forward thread used to be really active; it was sad when things were curtailed. Thanks for making it a fun place again.

Why thanks, @goodpens! I'm a newcomer around here, but I've benefited so much already from the collective wisdom of this place (without necessarily having a ton of expertise of my own to share) that this seemed like a good way to give back.

Welcome! The fountain pen crew is a great community.

Agreed.  

I got a pen once in a PiF where the person actually had it as a contest (coming up with a funny caption for a photo, which people then voted for).  I didn't actually want the top prize -- I wanted one of the "runner up" prizes for a friend because she had gotten a gag gift for me (a Pelikan M200 with the Bayer Asprin logo on it) on Freecycle (not realizing what the pen was probably worth) and the runner up prize was an Inoxcrom pen with the design being the "Tintin" comics (my friend is half  Spanish, and a HUGE fan of the comic -- so a Spanish brand pen with that as the design?  And I saw it and thought, "Oh,  she SOOOOO needs that!"  

Of course, it's probably lost in her house, but she still needed it....
