ESTERBROOK ESTIE SEA GLASS FOUNTAIN PEN
ESTERBROOK ESTIE SEA GLASS FOUNTAIN PEN
Introducing the Esterbrook Estie Sea Glass fountain pen ~ “The sea once it casts its spell, holds one in its net of wonder forever.” -Jacques Cousteau
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.

Custom Nib info
Scribe Nib by Josh Lax
A modified architect nib with thin downstrokes and thick cross-strokes.
- It is a very specific nib that Josh has managed to make usable for everyone.
- It gives the writer the flexibility of fine downstrokes and broad horizontal strokes and can also be used in reverse for additional variation.
- Whether you are looking to add more flair to your writing style, are looking for an architect without the need for a personal grind or want to expand your calligraphy skills, this is an excellent addition to your collection.
Journaler Nib by Gena Salorino
A medium ground to a stub with wide down and thinner cross-strokes.
- In her own words, the custom nib Gena is grinding for Esterbrook is a “medium stub grind, based on the vintage Esterbrook 9314M nib. The idea is that it’s smooth and friendly enough for everyday use, gives your writing some flair, all without being too huge for practical writing”.
Needle Point Nib by Kirk Speer
A superfine point that’s perfect for smaller writing.
- A super fine grind that create a sharp point on the nib; perfect for anyone who feels that even EF is a bit too large
- For those who practice character writing, artists who work in fine lines and notetaking
- A great pen to use those wetter inks; will NOT do well with shimmer inks and shading simply will not show up
- A great way to have controlled writing to fit into a smaller space or when using paper that is not fountain pen friendly
