Esterbrook Brand Being Revived This December?

[MajesticPens]

They must be Jest-erbrook-ing!

[OcalaFlGuy]

You know you want one.

 

Yeah.

 

Right after I get that Montecrappa Stallone work of art.

Ha ha, Stallone. Doesn't Rosenberg hail from NJ? Maybe he'll find his target consumers in the Jersey Shore crowd for that Deluxe pen.

 

The gold-plated version of it on the Kickstarter page is beyond words.

Someday they won't be modern anymore... they'll be old.

That is IF they ARE "still around..............."

Not sure that crowd would know what a BP is, let alone a fountain pen.

And they will still be modern and look like they were made in Shop Class.

 

Careful. The moderators (well, probably just one moderator) don't look too kindly on forum members who denigrate potential advertiser for fountain pen network.

[spaceink]

Ha, imagining the ads:

 

Reviving an iconic pen means desecrating everything it stood for.

LOL! Only 17 days to go and they only barely have over $1200. I expected a bump after the newspaper article but doesn't appear to have happened.

I would contribute to FPN to keep their ads OFF FPN.

I recently handled one of the pens.

The pen for that crowd is coming with a spritzer instead of nib. It can be filled with hairspray for whatever they call the up-do.

Were there........."SPARKS?"

[TheRealScubaSteve]

Did you see where they filed off the serial number made in China sticker?

[FarmBoy]

The pen comes in a really nice box.

 

There were no flames and the box is really nice.

[Barkingpig]

...............I seem to remember someone else commenting on the quality of the box. Glad to hear you can confirm as an "eye witness." Always nice when a pen has that feature.

[spaceink]

The box is probably the bulk of the cost of goods for that pen.

[benbot517]

I know people complain about the higher end Pilots having not very nice boxes, but I would much rather have a good pen with a not so good box, than an amazing box and bad pen.

I totally agree, plus I think that was the hidden message of the Anderson review; Brian being too nice to actually say it overtly.

I for one was impressed with the level of attention given to box. Even the outer box/sleeve was made from quality card stock. The glue was also of good quality, I usually wind up tearing these at the joints due to inferior adhesives.

I've heard that they shellac the boxes closed, so we'll probably need to expect ambering of the pens starting in 3... 2... 1...
