Esterbrook Camden Fountain Pen Oktoberfest Palladium Trim Limited Edition
Esterbrook is one of the greatest names in American pen history. Founded in 1858, by their peak they were making 216 million pens a year. Unfortunately, as the market changed, Esterbrook went out of business in 1971. Now they're back, though, with the name brought back and the designs reinvented by Kenro Industries, who have plenty of experience of bringing back or continuing famous pen brands.
The Camden is named after the town where Esterbrook started. For this limited edition version, the Oktoberfest features a resin barrel in a mixture of greys, reds and amber which combine to make it look like the pen is drinkable. It's not though... please don't drink the pen.
There's a bit of spring to push against as you re-cap the pen, as the insert that seals around the nib unit pushes gently back, so it makes a good seal - this helps prevent the ink drying out if you don't use it for a while, and making it safer to use with more concentrated inks.
150mm long capped, 130mm uncapped, 171mm posted - though it's a little risky to use posted, as the same spring mechanism that helps form a good seal when capped tends to try to throw the cap off! 15mm wide, 9.5mm at grip, weighs 32g.
Supplied in a nice cloth gift box, ink cartridge, and converter. Uses standard international cartridges so you'll always have plenty of ink choices.
