Esterbrook is proud to present the "King of the Night" pen, a thrilling new release inspired by the eerie allure of 1950s horror pop art. Designed for both pen collectors and horror enthusiasts, this limited-edition piece captures the dramatic flair of vintage B-movie aesthetics. Crafted from rich red alumilite with gleaming hints of gold and ivory, this pen is more than a writing instrument—it’s a work of art that stirs the imagination.
The "King of the Night" pen arrives in a leatherette case shaped to evoke the iconic attire of cinema’s most notorious vampires, adding a theatrical touch to this unique offering. The experience doesn’t end there, as the pen is complemented by themed stationery and cards that bring the mystery of a forgotten attic to life, complete with vintage-inspired packaging that glows in the dark, making it the perfect collectible for horror aficionados.
With a #6 JoWo German gold-plated steel nib and Esterbrook’s renowned cushioned inner cap system, this pen promises a smooth writing experience. The Estie fills via standard international cartridge or converter (included). Sink your teeth into this chilling masterpiece—just don’t let it vanish before sunrise!

This adds an element of uniqueness to the pen, with no two patterns being exactly the same. We cannot honor special requests.
