Description from Nathaniel
America learned to write with Esterbrook. In the 1950s, Esterbrook LJ pens, such as this, were often required writing instruments in high school, journalism school and many short-hand schools. Our vintage pen is in great shape. No cracks, deep scratches or bite marks mar this pen. We restored it with a new ink sac. It comes with an upgraded steel 2556 nib. These nibs were advertised as "fine writing" nibs. You will write what we think of as a dry, extra-fine line. It isn't buttery smooth, but it isn't all that scratchy, either. Esterbrook LJ means this is the "long" slender version of the Esterbrook J-model pen line. 12.9cm capped.
