The “J” was Esterbrook’s sleek and suave, classic pocket pen that appealed to the practicality of the times. It was a perfect pen for both men and women, and it still is today. Our revival of this 1940’s and 50’s pen has all of the hallmarks of its predecessor, with a few new bells and whistles.
The new “JR” (which is the original J reborn) is stylish and refined. It's compact in size, so you can always keep one in your jeans, shirt pocket, purse, or briefcase. Take it with you wherever you go. Mirroring the original “J”’s production, our new version is offered in three colors: Capri Blue, Carmine Red and Tuxedo Black. Tuxedo and Carmine shine bright in Palladium trim and Capri gleams in Gold.
And since we hope you’ll hold onto it forever, both the German JoWo nib and the top of the pen have been engraved with the Esterbrook Eternity symbol.
The pictures online of these pens definitely don’t do them justice. I bought the tuxedo black version and it arrived today. I opened up the package and my jaw dropped! I thought I was receiving a marbled white/black/grayish pen. I was wrong. Turns out it’s a black or dark dark grey pen with an amazing, surprisingly gorgeous body that has an iridescent almost fiber optic silky marbled finish to it. I purchased the broad nib size and it’s my first broad nib. I was nervous but knew the Esterbrook pen brand is highly regarded and reliable and has incredible attention to detail and quality. The broad nib is just as I pictured it! Nice and juicy wet, writes a broad line, continuously reliable, and super smooth. Pick one of these up. You won’t be disappointed! A truly well-made pen.
