WTT CONUS A1 Esterbrook Back to the Land Button Filler

Brand new/uninked, received in an Atlas mystery box. Complete presentation/packaging and accessories.

Beautiful pen, but EF and brown aren’t quite my usual lane, so I’d love to see if someone has something that’s a better fit.

Interested in: Esterbrook Esties, Pilot, Platinum, Pelikan, or other interesting pens of comparable value. Strong preference for Broad, Stub, Journaler/custom grinds, or other wet/expressive nibs. Happy to consider +/- cash for the right trade.

    • Included in bundle:
      • Kaweco Toyama Teal w/ M nib installed, has a bit of a stub to it, which I know some folks love but I am just not that into!

    • Comes with a sailor converter and 1 unused black cartridge
  • SOLD - Kakuno Madoromi Drowsy Blue, M nib - A2 rating (inked twice!) Asking $20

  • Wearingeul Inks - I've found that I am just not that into shimmer inks, hoping these go to a home where they get used! Both stored in a dry, cool closet away from sunlight/moisture. Would love to send these together if possible, happy to let both go for $30 together.

[WTS] Reduced - Cross Steel, Estie Raven OS, F-C Ondoro, Otto Hutt Design 08, Parker 45

Photos and verification.

From left to right:

1. Esterbrook Estie Raven Oversized Button Piston SOLD

  • Steel <EF> nib.
  • Condition: [C].
  • $170 $160
  • Seems to have adsorbed leather oil or particles when it was in a leather sleeve due to the unpolished matte surface, so it has some slight spotting and is a little lighter than it would be if new. Someone told me it will come off by rubbing it a lot.
  • Button-piston fill (like vacumatic).
  • Very smooth EF nib though it's still a bit wider than Pilot <F> for example.

2. Faber-Castell Ondoro

  • Steel <EF> nib.
  • Condition: [B].
  • $120 $110 $100
  • No issues. Standard microscratches. Cap facets have to line up with the body facets when you put it on. Snap cap.
  • Comes with converter.
  • Steel nib. Legitimately extra fine. I can't recall how the nib feels though.

3. Cross Stainless Steel

  • Steel <M> nib.
  • Condition: [C].
  • $45 $40 $30
  • Has a maybe half centimeter scratch on the cap.
  • Cartridge-converter. I do not have a converter for it. Snap cap.
  • I have not written with it so I can't say how the nib feels.

4. Otto Hutt Design 08

  • Gold 18K <M> nib.
  • Condition: [C].
  • $1000 $950 $900
  • Closeup photos.
  • In my opinion the best modern/industrial pen design along with the Lamy 2000, though I wish the nib was a bit bigger or the section had a different shape. The filling system works but it's an annoyance when a regular piston would work just as well. I guess you'll not accidentally unscrew your piston since it locks in place. The manual will explain how to operate the filling system but it would also be good to check a video.
  • Very wet M nib.
  • Slight wearing away of the PVD on the threads from the cap turning.
  • Very slight rotational play in the piston knob when it's locked in place- if you shake it you'll feel it. Not sure if this is normal.
  1. Parker 45 Dark Blue Pen & Pencil SOLD
  • Steel <M> nib.
  • Condition: [C].
  • $45 $40
  • Photos and verification.
  • Pencil looks perfect but there is a scuff at the end of the pen.
  • Has squeeze converter. Sold for $7.95 at the time of purchase in 1972.

Hey there! I am looking for a blush pitaya sport, any nib size, for my best friend who I got into fountain pens about a year ago. She is obsessed with this color and has said that it's her dream pen as she loves her other sports so much. If anyone is willing to part with theirs, you would make a very happy girl out of my bestie.

[WTS-global] book: The Montblanc Diary &amp; Collector's Guide by Jens Rosler

Verification Pictures: https://imgur.com/a/uwI5K5z

📖 Christians Verlag, Hamburg, 1993. English edition (translated from the German by Christopher Erskine), hardcover

📐 116 full color pages, around 330 instruments cataloged, covers Simplo Filler Pen Co / Montblanc-Simplo from 1908 to 1947

🔎 Condition: C, cover is worn but pages are all clean.

💵 $350 + $15 shipping, insured, CONUS

Selling my copy of the Rösler guide. Most recent one sold by PenTooling was for $400, ebay $500 and $600. If you collect pre-war Montblanc this is probably one of the most important books you can own, it catalogs the pen and nib offerings Simplo put out model by model from 1908 through 1947, and the appendix lists nearly every model produced in that stretch so you can pin down what you are holding.

The rest of the book is full color, the period catalogs, ads and photographs reproduced along with the miscellaneous non-pen products Montblanc sold.

Out of print for a long while now.
