    Description

    This is a very common Esterbrook SJ  fountain pen that was made in the USA in the 1950s.
    It comes with a factory prototype tubular nib.
    The nib screws in but it was made from a threaded  tube with a feed inside like a Sheaffer Triumph nib.
    I could not unscrew the nib [it is stuck].
    There is a piece of tape on the barrel that is marked: "Lounsberry Tubular Pen".
    I searched Newspapers.com for a Lounsberry connected with Esterbrook.
    I could not find the right person.
    Almost everyone with that name lived in Camden NJ but the obits did not contain what I was looking for.
    There is tape residue on the cap, but the tape fell off a long time ago.
    15-20 years ago, I purchased a lot of Esterbrook material that came from the manager of the Esterbrook repair center.
    I am sifting through it now and sorting it out.
    I have some rare pieces that I will be listing.
    I am not affiliated with the new Esterbrook pen company.
    I sell vintage pens and parts.
