Esterbrook is an American brand founded in 1858 that has made American history for more than 150 years. Abraham Lincoln, Lyndon B. Johnson, or John F. Kennedy are just some of the prominent American political figures who used these pens in their work. The Esterbrook brand is also chosen by artists and Donald Duck or the "Peanuts" comic book series were created using its writing instruments.
The Esterbrook brand with its products is inspired by the past, which is forever part of the present. For more than 150 years, the brand has been cultivating the values of craftsmanship, original designs and the highest quality workmanship, which makes its products satisfy the most demanding fountain pen enthusiasts.

Esterbrook pens have twist-out nibs, so we can replace them. The nibs are only compatible within one series, so only the Esti nib will fit into Esterbrook pens, and only the JR Pocket nib will fit into JR Pocket pens.
The nibs found in Esterbrook pens are manufactured in Germany with the utmost care. Each nib is laser-engraved with the brand name. The Custom series, is a set of hand-sawn nibs. Among them you will find the following nibs:
-Journaler, with a medium-thick line drawn with a rounded stub,
-Scribe, which draws lines of two thicknesses - a thin vertical line and a thicker horizontal line,
-Needlepoint with a line thinner than the EF nib,
-Techo, which draws the thinner the line, the greater the angle of the nib.
Depending on the type of nib, they differ in decoration and engraving.

Gold Trim nibs are plated with palladium.
