Esterbrook
Around August 2022 Esterbrook released three premium versions of their Camden fountain pen. I’ve reviewed Esterbrook’s Estie three times with different nibs and pens sizes. In between I also reviewed the JR Pocket Pen. The only pen model left for me to review now is the Phaeton 300! The Camden sits somewhat in between the JR Pocket Pen and the Estie.
A big thank you to Esterbrook for sending this in for review!

Recently, Esterbrook released their initial set of inks. This set of nine inks I have split into two overview posts. The first post had a rather traditional set of inks; they have a vintage feel and wouldn't be out of place in a vintage Esterbrook lineup. That first part had Cobalt Blue, Ebony, Evergreen, and Scarlet. This second part has some more modern feeling inks with Aqua, Simmer Aqua, Shimmer Lilac, Tangerine and Shimmer Tangerine. This is a long part 2!
Thanks to Desk Bandit and Esterbrook for sending in these inks for review. I received samples and a bottle of Cobalt Blue.

The Esterbrook JR Pocket Pen is part of the modern Esterbrook’s revival of the brand with the pen being a call back to one of vintage Esterbrook’s most popular pens, the Esterbrook J. The modern Esterbrook JR has come in a few colours, Red (‘Carmine’), Black, (‘Tuxedo’), and Blue (‘Capri’) but Esterbrook recently released the Paradise Set of three brightly coloured pens. These new colours have some slight design changes and come in Yellow (‘Lemon Twist’), Blue (‘Blue Breeze’) and Orange (‘Orange Sunset’). This review features the full Paradise Set, and the standard Tuxedo wit comparisons with two vintage Esterbrook J pens.
Thanks to Esterbrook for sending in the Paradise Set and to Desk Bandit for sending in the Tuxedo for review!

Earlier in the year I reviewed the Esterbrook Estie in the Limited Honeycomb (with a Journaler nib) and the standard Cobalt Blue (with a standard fine) finish. This is another Esterbrook Estie and while I don’t usually review pens with different finishes (although the material here is decently different) this Estie also comes with a Scribe nib. The material of the Gold Rush features the trademarked DiamondCast acrylic with the dust of real diamonds.
Thanks to Esterbrook and Desk Bandit for sending this pen in for review.
