Meet The Camden.
Named for the city where Richard Esterbrook settled his company, the Camden Collection speaks to a time in the 1930’s when Camden, NJ was at its most prosperous and home to some of the most important innovations of its day. Perhaps most famously, it was the birthplace of RCA Victor where, in 1933, an experimental TV station broadcast would be the first signs of technology that would ultimately eclipse the radio. As RCA was producing millions of records, Esterbrook was producing millions of pens. One can almost hear the sounds of the production belts humming along still. Now, this dignified American town of the early twentieth century, translates to an equally classic pen. As records have made their comeback in the last decade, so too, has the American fountain pen. Produced in three colors, Rose, Graphite and Silver, with bright silver hardware, the Camden, is streamlined and sleek. Designed for ultimate comfort when writing, the pen features a contoured grip section and a satin-like finish with a grain that harkens to the grooves on a record. The pen is balanced with a weight that feels substantial without feeling like, well, heavy metal. Whether you are penning daily notes, journaling, planning, or writing the next great tune for the American songbook, the Camden will become a standard in your collection.
Esterbrook’s latest release is the Camden Oktoberfest, reminiscent of the two-week celebration of all things bratwurst, beer, and Bavarian. The Camden model was the perfect canvas for a stacked acrylic design of amber, red, and greys which can quench your thirst and get you in the mood for more celebrations to come. Get yours today to enjoy all autumn long. Whether you’re a pilsner guy or an ale girl, this pen is just right for cold nights and warm laughter all season long. Prost!
