SPECIAL ESTERBROOK INFO

Esterbrook fountain pens listed below have fine point nibs, additional styles of nibs are listed in the Renew Point table after the pen listings.

Esterbrook Cartridge Filling fountain pens - We include an empty cartridge with each of these pens. Please note that there is NOT a currently made cartridge that fits these pens. We sometimes have available empty Esterbrook cartridges that can be refilled with a syringe. We also sometimes have available retrofitted convertors for Esterbrook cartridge fillers. Please email for further info.

Esterbrook Ballpoint Pens - To date, we know of NO ballpoint refills being manufactured that will fit into Esterbrook ballpoint pens. Once in a blue moon, we turn up a batch of Esterbrook BP refills that still write, but it is a rarity! There is a rather time intensive and cumbersome way to bring Esterbrook BP refills back to life which involves removing the old "ballpoint tip", replacing with a new tip and removing any and all leftover ink in the old refill tube. If you'd like full details on how to do this, click here to view the instructions.

J Series Fountain Pens and Pencils

Esterbrook manufactured the J series fountain pens from the late 1940's through the late 1950's. The J series was made in three sizes; J Full Size, LJ Long Slender and SJ Short Slender. Colors available were solid black, marbled red, marbled blue, marbled gray, marbled brown (copper color), marbled green and solid olive drab.

Desk Sets, Dip-Less Inkwells
and Desk Pens

Esterbrook desk sets and inkwells are some of my favorites for everyday use. Desk sets are heavy and well balanced making it difficult to tip them over, who's going to complain about fewer ink spills? The Dip-Less inkwells hold LOTS of ink and your pen is always ready to write. Black was the most common color used for Esterbrook desk sets and inkwells. Other colors were produced as well, but are more difficult to find have become very desirable by Esterbrook collectors.

Gasket Replacement Info for Esterbrook
407 Style Inkwells

If you have an inkwell that looks like the one above, you have an Esterbrook model 407. These have a red gasket set inside the bottom glass portion of the inkwell that sometimes goes missing over the years.

The proper replacement gasket is as far away as your local hardware or plumbing supply store! Look for the "Flush Valve Seal" for a Mansfield #210. They're even red like the originals!

The last batch we bought came from our local Kempker's Hardware Store, a True Value outlet, and this is the info from the package:

Danco Flush Valve Seal for Mansfield #210
Two other numbers on the package: 340 and 88096
The UPC code is 3715588096

Outside diameter is 79 mm
Inside diameter is 55mm
Thickness is 1.6mm
It's a flexible red rubber

Linton New Old Stock Nib Units
Perfect fit for Esterbrooks

We bought a huge batch of old stock from an office supply store that closed in the mid-1970s and had been in operation since 1907. One of the many items is a batch of new old stock Linton screw in style nibs that fit perfectly into Esterbrooks using renew points which is just about all Esterbrook fountain pens. All brand new and most in original boxes, never used.

Esterbrook DipLess Nibs

These single steel nibs were used in the first Esterbrook DipLess pens. They are not a complete renew point assembly!

Esterbrook Wonderiter Flo-Tip

New old stock, blister carded Esterbrook Wonderiter Flo-Tip. This is a felt tip replacement for Esterbrook cartridge fill Wonderiter fountain pens. Think of it as a felt tip writing unit! I'm sure these are still usable if you have the right Esterbrook for them. Even without the pen, they're a neat little collectible Esterbrook item.
