Esterbrook Fountain Pen Estie GT - Sea Glass
This Estie series, the nickname for Esterbrook, is a tribute to the brand and its history. The Estie series exudes a sense of nostalgia of the 1930s, a time when fountain pens were an integral part of communication for most people.
Timeless takes time.
And so it is with the coveted coastal treasures that wash ashore during low tides all over the world, known as sea glass. Shaped over many sunrises and sunsets, these bits of colored glass drift for as many as two hundred years, weathering storms in the salt water, tossing and turning, Mother Nature’s own polishing that gives them their characteristically smooth, frosted texture.
Prominent in the Northeastern United States, beaches along the shores of New Jersey and New York can be found teeming with these heirlooms and artifacts of whiskey and spirits, trinkets, medicine bottles, dinnerware, jam jars, old taillights and if fortune finds you, a piece of an antique ink bottle.
First used decoratively at the turn of the last century, beachcombers seek out these little gems giving credence to the statement that one man’s trash is another man’s treasure. A bounty of colors ranging from amber to green, black to pale pink and clear frost to the rarest turquoise blue, make sea glass a highly collectible commodity.
To celebrate the nearby shores of Esterbrook’s birthplace, we present the Sea Glass as the newest Estie in our Core Range. As sea glass is for all seasons, this offering will join our other classic colors as a permanent part of the Estie lineup.
The fountain pen is equipped with a #6 JoWo steel nib. The Estie fills via standard international cartridge or converter (included).
Note: JoWo is transitioning their nib designs from the old scroll pattern to a more simple design. Stock is currently mixed; what you receive may not necessarily match what is photographed.

In 1858, entrepreneur Richard Esterbrook in Camden NJ founded his pen company under the trademark Esterbrook Pen Company, which quickly became one of the largest and most beloved pen makers in the world. At its peak, Esterbrook was the largest pen manufacturer in the United States with 600 employees.
It is therefore not surprising that much of American history has been written and created with Esterbrook pens. US Presidents Abraham Lincoln and Lyndon B. Johnson signed legislation with their Esterbrook pens.
Famous Disney artist Carl Banks brought Donald Duck to life with an Esterbrook No 356. Peanuts creator Charles M. Schulz used the No 914 for all of his comics. Meanwhile, millions of students have grown up learning to write with Esterbrook pens, aided of course by visionaries and artists using Esterbrook.
Today, Esterbrook resides 120 miles north of his original home at Kenro's headquarters in Mineola, NY.
