Esterbrook Estie Fountain Pen, Botanical Gardens, Gold Trim

Esterbrook Estie Fountain Pen, Botanical Gardens, Gold Trim

Using high-quality acrylic, Esterbrook have created a pen that doesn’t just pay homage to springtime gardens, but celebrates them. In each pen, you will find a kaleidoscope of floral accents, from greens to blues, deep reds to oranges, all displayed in a crackle-like pattern that intrigues the eye and inspires the imagination.  The first 1000 Botanical Gardens fountain pens will come with a stunning stamp set featuring 12 beautiful illustrations of botanical gardens from around the globe, including Kew Gardens here in the UK. The stamps come packaged inside a printed envelope that has perforated edges that tear away to reveal a Botanical Garden themed postcard.

The Esterbrook Pen Company, a true American Original, is rewriting its long success story in modern times with a fresh new pen collection based on a complete rebranding. Titled Estie, a kind of nickname for Esterbrook, is a tribute to the brand and its storied history. "Estie͟" also provides a feeling of 1930s nostalgia, when phrases like dingy, dizzy, doggy and brodie were commonplace. A time when fountain pens were an integral part of life and communication for most Americans.

Esterbook began manufacturing nibs in the US in the mid 1800s, but the 1930s were a period of importance, as they introduced their first interchangeable nib system in 1933. The interchangeable nibs gave the user many options for writing, whether in school, business, personal etc. Today, a similar system is reborn with the Estie and the specially engineered MV Nib Adaptor. The MV adaptor delivers a vintage nib experience with a modern shape Esterbrook pen.
