Niblet Tortoise Fountain Pen by Esterbrook

Description

Niblet Tortoise Fountain Pen by Esterbrook

Are you a big fan of the famous Estie? You’re going to love this compact version! Introducing the smaller, vintage-inspired Niblet. The slightly oversized cap is screwed onto the top of the barrel to give the fountain pen a perfect grip. In place of the clip, a small rectangular metal plate prevents the fountain pen from rolling off the table. Esterbrook has embellished the top of the cap with a metal tablet displaying its logo.

For the Tortoise model, the American brand drew its inspiration from the patterns on the shell of a turtle. The mosaic of brown and beige colours has a beautiful effect and blends perfectly with the gold-plated stainless steel trims.

Esterbrook ‘s name is stylistically engraved on the cap.

The nib:

The No. 6 nib from German brand Jowo is made of gold-plated stainless steel. It is available in eleven sizes: EF, F, M, B, Stub 1.1, Scribe, Journaler, Fude, Techo as well as the flexible EF and F versions (for more details on special nibs, please refer to the end of the sheet).

You will receive your Niblet Tortoise fountain pen by Esterbrook in a beautiful vintage-inspired box, accompanied by its mini converter and a felt pouch.

Details of special nibs:

• scribe nib: a B architect nib created by Josh Lax that allows you to write thin on the vertical line and thick on the diagonal and horizontal lines
• journaler nib: designed by Gena Salorino and based on the vintage Esterbrook 9314M nib; an M nib that tends towards the stub style, with a horizontal line that is thinner than the vertical line; soft and user-friendly for everyday use, it adds style to your writing, without being too big for everyday writing
• fude nib: an upward-curving nib that allows you to vary the thickness of the line depending on the angle of the nib
• techo nib: designed by CY of Tokyo Station Pens, with a B nib that varies its lines according to the angle at which you hold the fountain pen; when you hold it at a slight angle (low angle), the lines are thicker; at a higher angle, the lines are finer; more details.

These special nibs are compatible with all Estie fountain pens, so you can easily change nib if you own one or more Estie. Similarly, any Esterbrook No. 6 nib is compatible with the Niblet.
