Estie, a kind of nick name for Esterbrook, is a tribute to the brand and its storied history. Short for Esterbrook, ͞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.
The Esterbrook Estie Oversized fountain pen uses a German Schmidt #6 stainless steel nib (Extra Fine, Fine, Medium, Broad and 1.1mm Stub) and a standard international cartridge/converter system (converter included).
Times may be different, values stay. The Esterbrook Pen Company, a true American Original since 1858, is rewriting its long success story in modern times with a fresh new pen collection based on a complete rebranding. Join the revolution!

I was skeptical about this pen at first, but the Honeycomb color from Esterbrook is really the ONLY one that really called out to me. I felt like I would just need to buy this pen. I am impressed with the fit and finish on the pen. It is higher quality than other pens in this price range. Quality of materials and everything is great. I had Appelboom smooth and tune the nib, which you should do as well. This is the #1 reason I shop with AB! I would love to have multiple variants of this pen, but it is rather pricey, especially in the special edition colors. I do think that Esterbrook is competitive with higher end pens in the same price category. The Oversize is nice and long. It does NOT post. Don’t try it.
