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. The first new collection is called Estie, a modern day nickname for the brand and a symbol of 1930s nostalgia. The Estie fountain pen is available in a vintage palette of colors.

This tortoise brown resin fountain pen has gold trim and has a cushion cap closure. It can be inked with either standard international cartridge or converter (both included) and is equipped with the respected #6 JoWo German gold-plated steel nib.

A sleek clip provides a clean accent for the cap and slides easily into a shirt pocket. A cushion cap closure provides a secondary seal to ensure a wet point. Finally, the fountain pen is equipped with a gold #6 JoWo steel nib in a range of sizes. The Estie fills via standard international cartridge or converter (included).

Esterbrook Estie Fountain Pen - Tortoise/Gold {M} nib

Strolling through Goulet Pens website, I caught sight of this Estie. Oh my, oh my... . As most know, Tortoise shell is different on each pen. What you see on the screen wouldn't match 9 out of 10 times what you receive. Still, Esterbrook Estie have a rep for making good pens. I spoke with Kay at Goulet Pens and asked (if maybe a little foolishly) if she could find me one that was similar in appearance to the one shown on the webpage. Well, they had one left at the time of purchase that had a M nib. Kay was so helpful :-) . I purchased that and some TWSBI Black ink (wanted to try some different black ink). It is amazingly beautiful fountain pen. The M nib writes a wet bold line, which is what I wanted. Love F nibs, but I had enough F nibs on other pens, a M is just perfect. Thank you again Kay for your wonderful customer service. You guys really are the tops in my book. The pen is just wonderful to look at and a solid writer, smooth, wet, and puts out a bold line. Thanks Goulet Pens :-)

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.
