You can choose between the regular size pen and the oversize model.
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.

Details & Facts
The Brand
The Esterbrook brand embodies a significant piece of American writing history. Founded in 1858, Esterbrook became known as "The People's Pen," dominating the market with reliable and accessible writing instruments.
The modern Estie series marks the elegant revival of this legacy. The pen’s simple, comfortable cigar shape is a nod to the classics, merging historic reliability with modern engineering and superior materials. The name "Estie"—a beloved nickname for the brand—stands for a pen that honors the past while inspiring the future of your written word.
Materials
The Estie is crafted to feel exceptional in hand. The barrel is made from high-quality Precious Acrylic Resin, known for its deep, vibrant color and smooth finish. This refined material is balanced to offer a comfortable weight—neither fatiguing nor too light. All metal trims, including the signature clip and accents, are Palladium- or Gold-plated, providing a luxurious and durable touch that perfectly complements the pen’s clean, cylindrical design.

Custom nibs
Journaler: Medium Stub, based on vintage 9314M. Smooth, friendly for everyday use, adds flair, not too huge.
Needlepoint: For small grids (like Hobonichi). Controlled writing to fit more into smaller spaces.
Scribe: Architect nib. Thin downstroke, thick cross-stroke. Unique architectural line variation.
Mini Stub: Gets fine details and personality. Line variation, good for longform writing/sketching.
Techo: A highly versatile "all-in-one" nib that produces varying line widths based on the pen's writing angle (flatter angle = thicker line; steeper angle = thinner line), ideal for flexible journaling and sketching on the go.
Fude: A bent nib designed to mimic the dynamic line variation of a calligraphy brush ("Fude" means brush), creating very thin lines when held steep and thick, bold strokes when held flat—perfect for artists, illustrators, and dramatic calligraphy.
