[@howdydave45421]

Great to see an ongoing serial on my new, favorite brand of fountain pen! I matriculated into the Degree Program.

Well done. I’m excited about the next classes and look forward to getting a degree in Esterbrookology

I am looking forward to learning more about the Esterbrook pens and especially about the nib selection. Excellent video.

I came along in the sixties where in school the Sheaffer cartridge pen was almost universal. I'd see Esterbrook cartridge pens at the store but their cartridges were far too small for a student. I have J, LJ and SJ pens and write with all of them; medium stub is a favorite as is the general writing and the fine manifold. Thanks so much for these videos; we'll never see an equivalent to these and certainly NOT the silly pens bearing Mr. Esterbrook's name today.

They are still making Esterbrook in Italy today?explain the plastic “jewel” on the Esterbrook Fountain Pen! What inks were originally with Esterbrook?

[@WhatIInk]

1. No. The brand name "Esterbrook" was bought by another firm and is making totally different pens under the brand name. 2. What's there to explain about the jewel? It's a plastic disk on the end of the pen, that's it! 3. Esterbrook didn't make ink. You can use whatever ink you want.

What I Ink -oh! Well thank you!

I understand that there are 3 models/sizes of the Esterbrook dollar pens. B - long standard full size A - long slender version H - demi/short version Internet search's reveal no actual length's for each version.
