For Sale: Three freshly restored pens! - ALL SOLD!!!

All pens have been SOLD! Thanks for looking!


Hello to all of my Blog readers, subscribers, followers, etc.

Tofay I am offering three amazing pens for sale! Two of them are Esterbrooks and the other is a Parker Challenger. All three of these pens have been freshly restored by me and are ready to write for years and years to come!

If you are interested in buying any of these pens you can email me here. Thanks for looking!

Pen #1 - Esterbrook LJ in Copper
This is a gorgeous example of a Copper Esterbrook in pristine condition! This pen shines even more in person than it does in the pictures! As with all my pens this one was taken down for inspection, cleaning, repair, and polishing. The body of this pen is in near perfect condition! There are no cracks, gouges, chips, or scratches to mar this beautiful finish. The jewels are excellent as well with no chips or breaks in them at all. This pen has been fitted with a brand-new sac (which was dusted in pure talc prior to insertion into the pen) which is sure to provide years and years of reliable service. The lever on this pen stops at the proper position against the stop detent and the j-bar functions just as it should. The lever closes tightly against the body of the pen with no dangling slack.

The nib on this pen is a very nice 2668. This nib writes a fine/medium line that's about 5/10 on the wetness scale. It's a great everyday writer with just a touch of feedback. As with all my nibs I dip tested it and tuned it for maximum performance.

If you're looking for a gorgeous Copper LJ that's ready to write for years to come then this is the pen for you!

Price on this pen is $42.00 shipped (CONUS only). PayPal is much preferred though personal checks will be accepted.

Pen #2 - Esterbrook SJ in Grey
This is a beautiful little pen in excellent condition! This pen shines even more in person than it does in the pictures! As with all my pens this one was taken down for inspection, cleaning, repair, and polishing. The body of this pen is in near perfect condition! There are no cracks, gouges, chips, or scratches to mar this beautiful finish. The jewels are excellent as well with no chips or breaks in them at all. This pen has been fitted with a brand-new sac (which was dusted in pure talc prior to insertion into the pen) which is sure to provide years and years of reliable service. The lever on this pen stops at the proper position against the stop detent and the j-bar functions just as it should. The lever closes tightly against the body of the pen with no dangling slack.

The nib on this pen is a very smooth 1551! IT writes a medium line with just the right amount of feedback. I'd say it's about 6/10 on the wetness scale. It's just right for smooth daily use and luxurious writing! As with all my nibs I dip tested it and tuned it for maximum performance.

If you're looking for an awesome pen that built for writing and show this Grey SJ is just the thing!

Price on this pen is $40.00 shipped (CONUS only). PayPal is much preferred though personal checks will be accepted.

Pen #3 - Parker Challenger
I'm not super familiar with my Parkers, especially not my Challengers. I do know that this is just the normal Parker Challenger but I believe it's the smaller size. It measures 4 3/4" long when capped. Almost the exact same size as an Esterbrook SJ. It also has the ink view in the section which is a really cool feature! The body of this pen is a beautiful green/black mottled pattern. The body is in outstanding condition with no chips, cracks, gouges, or scratches at all. It's been gently polished an sines like a mirror! The imprint on this pen is very crisp and has been waxed white for extra visibility! If you don't prefer the white waxing then it can be very easily removed (with no damage to the imprint) before shipement. Just let me know. I personally prefer the white waxed imprints as they look really nice and make the imprint about 10 times easier to read! This pen has been fitted with a new sac which was dusted in pure talc prior to insertion into the pen. Also, the button filler and pressure-bar have been removed and thoroughly cleaned to ensure smooth performance for years to come. I really like these button fillers! They're just a bit more fun than the normal lever-filler.

The only issues with this pen are such: The previous owner must have dropped the nib on something rough. There's was an extremely small dent with micro-scratching right by the E in Parker. I've removed the dent so only the super-light micro-scratching remains. It's almost invisible unless looked for. Also, the cap-band shows some light brassing and the clip has some micro-scratching near the top. Just look at the pictures as they depict these flaws very accurately.

The nib on this pen is a sweet little soft/semi-flex that writes a very smooth fine line. If you're looking to get into flex nibs this would be a great place to start! It makes for a very fun writing experience and is a joy to use! It's around 6/10 on the wetness scale and has just the right amount of feedback! It's an excellent nib for daily writing and for fun!

If you're looking for an awesome daily writer that has an above average nib then snatch this awesome pen up!

Price on this pen is $55.00 shipped (CONUS only). PayPal is much preferred though personal checks will be accepted.
