About This Pen

Esterbrook nibs, with a few exceptions, generally come in three levels, 9xxx, 2xxx, and 1xxx. 9xxx are iridium tipped and excellent writers.  2xxx nibs are not tipped with iridium so are a bit softer, but with a little tuning and a chance to get accustomed to your hand, become very smooth one-user nibs (2556 and 2668 are among my favorites). 1xxx are also not tipped and not as soft as 2xxx, but are very serviceable nibs.  1xxx, except for those listed below, are included as bonuses with a pen purchase.  Feel free to ask if you have one in mind.

Nibs included with pen price:  Firm Extra Fine 2550, Firm Fine 2555/2556, Firm Medium 2668, Firm Extra Fine 9450/9550, Firm Fine 9555/9556, Firm Medium 9668. 1960s Esterbrook (branded but not numbered) are available in Medium and Fine, and Venus (purchased Esterbrook in the late 1960s and rebranded their nibs) are available in Extra Fine, Fine, Medium, and Broad.
