Very informative! I just recently have gotten into vintage esterbrook and am wanting to repair also in the future. Thanks for the video

Excellent idea thank you. May I ask where you got the plastic container from?

"Just be conscientious of that..." Is this guy for real?

Wow! Thanks. Excellent video!

Do you still make and sell the sn2 pads?

Had to identify some esterbrook nibs today and this came in handy 9 years later! Thanks

This is another good option to filling the pen. I didn’t think of it because it would get my fingers inky and I wouldn’t know when to stop filling the sac. I don’t think I would do it this way but its cool to see this method.

Hi. Do you still sell the dip pen paper?

That’s creative! I just use a shot glass, since I had one not really ever in use - I repurposed it! 😂

Add some Gum Arabic to Noodlers blue ink... I make my self my inks.

Will the glue hold if it's on end grain?

umm ... lift and release the lever after you dip it in the bottle. If you raise the lever first (which compresses the sac) any ink in the sac is going to be pushed out. causing a rather unnecessary mess. You lost me with "Raise the lever, dip the pen, and release the lever." If you're changing ink that often, why not use it like a dip pen? The feed holds a lot of ink. You won't have to dip every couple words, or inches if drawing like you woul a dip pen. Worst case, why not just dip it, work the lever once, and do what you need to do? That way the feed is already saturated and ready to write. You don't HAVE to fill the sac completely using the lever. (it takes raising and lowering the lever 5 or 6 times to fill my Esterbrook "J" pens, and Waterman's Dauntless lever fill pens) I can't see any use where filling an Esterbrook lever fill pen with a syringe is an advantage. If you want an eye dropper pen, may I suggest a set of seven translucent Jinhao 992, for under $15 on Amazon? They can be eye droppered, if you don't want to use a cartridge or included converter. (fill the barrel with water first to make sure the barrel finial isn't leaking. If it is, pull the finial and super glue it in.) You won't need silicon grease if you eye dropper them. The "O" rings at the barrel/section and on the screw-in nib housing prevent ink leaks. Even better, with seven pens you can ink each one with one of the seven inks you use the most. No more cleaning and loading the pen whenever you change ink! How convenient is that?!? 😁👍

A story to illustrate the power of positive thinking: I have been into fountain pens for about a year+. The other day I heard about dip pens, (not for the first time) but it was the first time I thought. Hey that’s interesting. Then for about 2 days I was contemplating getting a dip pen and to try it out. Thinking to get some from Goulet pens, FYI they only carry glass dip pens, which have no flex. Then I met with a client and as we worked on his documents (I’m a notary) he noticed my fountain pen and asked if I like to do calligraphy. I said I’m getting into it. He then mentioned that his mother was into calligraphy and had some boxes full of supplies including papers, and dip pens and nibs. He was thinking of throwing them out. I said I would take it off his hands. Now I have someone’s lifetime supplies of calligraphy tools!!

This might be a stupid question but, have you tried squid ink?

This was awesome thanks for the vid!

Thank you sir. I was looking all over for a page like this! I Really appreciate it.

What kind of dip pen holder and nib are you using here? Seems so elegant and fine ?

I've always liked thin vintage dip pen holders, how come you don't see them around these days?

Highly specialised tool🤣🤣... Thank you for this tip. Hope it percent my nibs from rusting! I'm so careful to keep them dry, but the humid weather here plays havoc on them! This just might work! Thank u🤩

That is what is called a "fluid writer" or "painting pen." They are still made today, the main brand that makes these is Kemper and it is called the Kemper Fluid Writer.

I just got a writing slope from Vermont. It had an Esterbrook 314 nib.

Use thicker ink

Your handwriting is amazingly good. Wish I could write like that. At best my writing looks like lots of round noodles coiled in circles. At worst it looks like a spider with parkinsons has fallen in an ink pot and crawled out to die... PS I've done the inks in the window test and I found that ballpoint pen ink was by far the worst. It literally vanished to nothing except the indentations left by the pen. Lamy black fountain pen ink didn't fade. Indian ink didn't fade, neither did Chinese ink. Rollerball ink and gel ink didn't fade. These were all black inks. I've got some blue-black registrar's ink [Diamine] which is supposed to be iron-gall ink. It works perfectly in a fountain pen and it's proper permanent. If you spill water on it, the writing remains totally unscathed.

What type of ink would you use on parchment?

Great video! I just got one of these nibs in the mail... pretty little things!

this tip has kept my nibs intact for YEARS they're not even any special metal. just keep those boys clean and dry, pals

I also have a Sheaffer 100 which I agree is an excellent pen for its price. Mine is the opposite to yours, very dry writer, looks great on cheap copier paper. Maybe investigate having it adjusted to be dryer?

Thankyou so much for sharing this with us. I’ve just got back into doing my calligraphy and decided to buy a job lot of vintage nibs on eBay. Now I want to start collecting and am bidding on another job lot and was looking for something just like this. 😁😁😁

Thank you for a well organized and presented video. I found it very informative and helpful.

You put a lot of effort and thought into this. Thank you!

The nibs I bought can't write properly after I've completely cleaned them. I wonder if the need a reservoir.

What nibs that are made today are the ones I should buy ? Most videos have nibs that are not made anymore ?

Thank You. Finally I understand.

Good stuff!

Bamboo works better, Holds the ink better, Writes more per Dip

can you tell me what the Nib is?

Hey there are you on instagram sir ?

this is 6+ years old and has only 3k views but actually is one of the best examples of how practical and useful can some videos be. Huge thanks to you mate, Its useful and so genius.

I like your CTR ring.

When you spilled the ink i held my breath so loud and a lil ‘noooooo’ came out of my mouth 😆

please make more what happened

Same complements as I posted on your other video. So clear and informative, thanks for all the hard work!

Thanks for this! I'm actually just doing general research on pen types used in schools in the 1930s and this was really useful on basic use and nib type difference. Most guides I've found are more focused on either art or calligraphy use, but I really just want to know about everyday use in writing. Great video, thank again!

Who restored it? Name and address as I have many that need repair !

Hi. I wanted to say thank you for a very helpful video. My first vintage is to be delivered in two days..coincidentally one very similar to to yours in color. I haven’t ever seen a lever fill pen, never seen an Esterbrook even. I already have everything you used in the video, including the syringe. Thanks to this video I will be able to use the new pen straightaway.

I have a feather dip pen

Thank you for this informative test.

Does the 2nd dip pen you show have sparkles in it. If so, what is brand name , maker or model. I love sparkly pens!
