Esterbrook Estie Fountain Pen Petrified Forest Gold Trim

Wood Into Stone Into Resin

Is there anything more American than Route 66? On one road alone, you get to experience the diversity of the U.S. landscape.

Take, for example, the Petrified Forest national park, encompassing the natural phenomenon’s namesake and the Painted Desert. With bands of color that formed through years of erosion of the desert mountains, geological marvel is an out-of-this-world experience that must be seen to be believed. Large stretches of mountain look as though a watercolor brush was stroked across the sides, creating a visually stunning effect unlike anywhere else in the U.S.

Petrified Forest is the latest Estie, celebrating the beauty of taking it easy on Route 66, bypassing the shortcuts for the long way around the country, and enjoying the natural splendor along the way. Esterbrook’s acrylic blend perfectly matches the Arizona landscape, making this an ideal pen for those with a little bit of wanderlust – and a lot of imagination – in their hearts.

Since 1858, the Esterbrook brand has featured fountain pens. You’d think after 160 years they’d produce a pretty fine pen! They do. The Estie features a flexible JoWo steel nib which impresses whether extra fine, fine, medium or broad. Fed through either a cartridge or converter, your Esterbrook Estie, will write like it has a century and a half of experience.

The fountain pen body is a typical size and weight. The blended and turned acrylic resin is striking. Hand-finished to a gleaming shine, you’ll admire your purchase with every stroke. The pen does post the cap on the body for those who like a slightly top heavy writer. The trim is a gold tone. The Esterbrook ‘Cushion Cap Closure’ is just a push and single twist. It’s designed to securely seal the nib to ensure a wet point.
