Esterbook began manufacturing nibs in the US in the mid 1800s, but the 1930s were a period of importance, as they introduced their first interchangeable nib systemin 1933. The interchangeable nibs gave the user many options for writing, whether in school, business, personal etc. Today, a similar system is reborn with the Estie and the specially engineered MV Nib Adaptor. The MV adaptor delivers a vintage nib experience with a modern shape Esterbrook pen.
One of our top-selling colors, Tortoise harkens back to the popular acrylic blend from the 30s and 40s. A balanced blend of browns and tans, Tortoise has the elegance of yesteryear while still very much being a modern pen.
