The MV Adapter therefore doesn’t have much emotional resonance with me personally. Short for Esterbrook, ͞Estie͟ also provides a feeling of 1930s nostalgia, when phrases like dingy, dizzy, doggy and brodie were commonplace. Search for "Larry's Fountain Pens" on Zazzle.com or I know I don’t have a ton to add about the aesthetics but the cracked, caramel resin is stunning to look at. The adapter only comes in black, and vintage Esterbrook nibs are narrower than their modern JoWo counterparts. The adapter only comes in black, and vintage Esterbrook nibs are narrower than their modern JoWo counterparts. Maybe that’s a marketing novelty, but I have a collection of vintage Esterbrooks with all manner of nibs, and it would be a hoot to try them out in a modern writer. The one thing I don’t love about it is that it makes it difficult to post the cap straight on the barrel - a very minor annoyance, but I’m a poster, so there it is. All Rights Reserved.
offered to send over a sample of their new Estie Sparkle oversized, I was actually this close to declining. I also absolutely love the vintage cigar shape. The Esterbrook Estie fountain pen provides the nostalgic feel of the 1930s.
While Esterbrook nibs are fun to play around with, I don’t personally think the quality justifies the prices some people are willing to pay today for what amounts to a stainless steel nib that can be kind of scratchy. A review of the Esterbrook Estie fountain pen from Federalist Pens. Esterbrook Pens are available from most Kenro retailers and were widely distributed at launch. So when Bryan from Esterbrook ( and Kenro , red.) All it takes is a visit to a pen show to appreciate the number of people who experience the overwhelming nostalgia and recollection an Esterbrook can bring. The Esterbrook Estie is my latest fountain pen acquisition. For the love of pens, paper, office supplies and a beautiful place to workI won’t talk much about the history of Esterbrook here since Jesi went into detail about it in her review or about the adapter available for the Estie which makes it possible to use vintage Esterbrook nibs with your modern Estie pen using a cartridge or converter since that’s also been covered.One of the details that neither Jesi nor Laura mentioned was the packaging. Their size and weight are, for lack of better words...Most Excellent!!!

I tend to disagree with such assessments.
The one thing I don’t love about it is that it makes it difficult to post the cap straight on the barrel - a very minor annoyance, but I’m a poster, so there it is. I added the converter and am enjoying trying out the vintage nibs (ooh, the medium stub). Exceptional design.Esterbrook Estie in Cobalt/Gold. Though I’m not a collector of vintage pens, I very much appreciate vintage-inspired design, and the Estie sports the beautifully streamlined look of a classic Sheaffer balance, sans cap band or any adornments other than the clip and an engraved “Esterbrook” logo.Two features are being used extensively to market the Estie: the “cushion cap” closure and the “MV Adapter,” the latter of which is available for purchase separately, and allows you to use your vintage Esterbrook nibs in the new pen. Do you know if it’s the same stock nib unit as used by Franklin-Christoph and Edison? This Estie, along with a couple of TWSBI Go fountain pens, are my only pen purchases of the year. Short answer: the Estie is a great pen that I can wholeheartedly recommend as an everyday writer, but it’s the overall classic look of the pen and comfort in the hand that wins my recommendation, rather than a fancy cap closure or vintage-nib adapter that, frankly, most brands do just fine without and that I could take or leave. After some initial skepticism, I’m a fan of the cushion-cap. Overall rating:
The Estie design is clean and understated with a ringless center and a sleek narrow clip. )Even the packaging has a retro flare.
