[WTT] [WTB] Rare Esterbrooks and Prototypes

I am interested in purchasing or trading for any rare Esterbrook Esties or prototypes. Specifically, I am looking for any of the following specific, named rare/prototype models:

  • Geode (2025 Fountain Pen Day, prototype)
  • Kanahebi (Tamenuri Studios collaboration)
  • Parrot ebonite

In case there are Estie people who are specifically interested in trading for any of these three models, I'm willing to offer up three of the 2025 FPD prototypes.

  • Peach Bellini
  • Galaxy Dust
  • Thunderstorm

As usual, all r/Pen_Swap rules apply, particularly for trades.
Also, please do not contact with requests to buy my current prototypes unless you are prepared for me to offer them at an obscene price, as they are only (reluctantly) up for trade, and I would genuinely prefer not to part with them.
