Barry SchwartzI recently bought a new old stock my favorite Esterbrook fountain pen nib, 9450 "extra-firm posting". That is, an accountant's or bookkeeping nib, such as for posting entries in a ledger or spreadsheet. It is a good nib for someone with a shaky hand, and is extra fine in the traditional American way, or the Japanese way, or the way Montblancs were made in the 1960s and 1970s for the Japanese market, and not the way supposed "extra fine" is made by Pelikan or JoWo or Bock. It is a stainless steel nib tipped with hard metal of some kind, presumably a mix of platinum group metals. Screw-in by what was commonly called "standard thread" but really was just what Esterbrook made and some other manufacturers—at least Osmiroid—made their nibs compatible with. (Venus absorbed Esterbrook, so some Venus pens also.) <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Esterbrook?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Esterbrook</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/pen?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#pen</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/fountainPen?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#fountainPen</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/JHerbinInk?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#JHerbinInk</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/alt4me?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#alt4me</a>

HollieFound my great-grandma’s Esterbrook and dismantled it. I’ve cleaned out that bladder pretty well (it’s easily over 60 years old!) and wanted to pull the nib gently from the base but it’s not budging. I’m going to just flush it and see if that’s enough. I plan on filling it with some J Herbin that just arrived (Cornaline d’Égypte - it’s heckin beautiful).<a href="https://social.coop/tags/FountainPens" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FountainPens</a> <a href="https://social.coop/tags/Esterbrook" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Esterbrook</a>

LuciaGThe tendency, when we have something nice, is to squirrel it away. Like the good China, the good towels. We need a special reason to use them. But aren’t we special? Don’t we deserve the “good” things?! So I’m using my sparkly Esterbrook to simply check things off my to do list this morning, and it’s making me happy. It’s beautiful and the fact that my friend gifted it to me makes me feel so loved. <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/FountainPen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FountainPen</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/Esterbrook" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Esterbrook</a>

LuciaGI am getting an opportunity to practice gratitude today and bask in the love of a wonderful friend. I got pens and ink in the mail!! The Esterbrook and Ferriswheel Press set, which is gorgeous and an incredibly handsome Pelikan M605. I’m in love 💚 inked the Nebulous Plume with the Ferriswheel Press Nebulous Blue. Inked the Pelikan with an adorable Tono&Lims ink called Flight of the bumblebee. <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/Esterbrook" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Esterbrook</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/FerriswheelPress" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FerriswheelPress</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/FountainPen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FountainPen</a>
