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!

We do our best to photograph the pens to show how they will appear in person, but due to the nature of this unique material, there will be variation in the patterns and colors seen here. This adds an element of uniqueness to the pen, with no two patterns being exactly the same. We cannot honor special requests.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I use this pen with ink cartridges? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

A cartridge is small, disposable, sealed plastic reservoir that holds fountain pen ink. These come pre-filled with ink, and typically you just push to insert them into place and you'll be ready to write!

This pen uses standard international ink cartridges, a common size which is available in many colors from various brands.

You can learn more about how to actually install an ink cartridge on our blog, or in this video tutorial:

How do I use a converter? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

A converter goes in the place of where the ink cartridge would normally go. From there, you can fill your fountain pen from bottled ink.

A converter is a detachable and refillable ink reservoir that allows you to use bottled ink in a cartridge-accepting pen. Typically you will install the converter into the grip section, dip the nib/feed into the ink, and twist or pull the converter knob to draw ink into the converter.

We have a great video showing how to use a converter here:

How do I clean this fountain pen? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

It mostly comes down to flushing out the pen with water, and sometimes a little bit of pen flush if the ink is really stuck. 

We put together a blog post with step-by-step instructions, or you can watch the video here:

We recommend a good cleaning every 2 weeks, and any time you change ink colors. Water will usually do the trick, but we recommend you use our Goulet Pen Flush if the ink has been left in the pen for a while and could have dried up, or when you’re switching ink colors.

For even more information about fountain pen cleaning, check out our Fountain Pen 101 video blog post.
