1950s Esterbrook Pastel Series Fountain Pen 2442 Nib 5-3/8” Posted, Restored GUC

Description: Please see handwritten details for this pen (in photos), noting the fine hairline cracks below the cap ring that are very common on this model. The cracks usually occur from posting the cap too hard. The good news is that they are very small and hard to see & don’t extend any further than the ring. They don’t affect the performance of the pen either. This pen has been disassembled, ultrasonically cleaned, and then reassembled with a new rubber bladder affixed with shellac and dusted with talc. Please see all pictures for exact condition. The pen will be shipped dry (no ink) to keep the nib from being gummed up. You will need to purchase some ink. For demonstration purposes I used Pelikan tinte 4001. This 1950s Esterbrook Pastel Series Fountain Pen is a must-have for any pen collector. The pen features a 2442 Falcon (Fine Stub) nib size, which is perfect for everyday use. The nib is made of stainless steel, which ensures durability and longevity. The pen has a chrome trim, which adds to its aesthetic appeal. The pastel yellow color of the pen adds a touch of vintage charm to your collection. This pen is a United States product and is perfect for those who appreciate quality and design.Please note: -All items are on-hand and securely packaged at the time of listing (accurate size & weight) so they can be shipped as quickly as possible after your purchase. -Shipping costs are calculated based on the actual weight and dimensions of the pre-packaged item. If you want your item double-boxed for shipping, please contact me in advance of your purchase and I will quote you a price based on the new dimensions and weight. -Please ensure your shipping address is correct in eBay to avoid delays. A shipping address change usually requires me to cancel the sale and have the buyer purchase again after correcting. -I generally offer two or three shipping options for most items so you can pick your preferred carrier and the expediency of delivery. If shipping options to your location are limited to a carrier service I do not show as an option, please contact me in advance of your purchase and I will add that carrier option to the listing*. -Vintage items in their original packaging are either packaged inside another box or wrapped in brown shipping paper taped only to itself to preserve the original packaging. -Unless the listing has a note that says I'm away, I ship same-day if possible. If I cannot ship same-day, your item will go out the next business day after payment. -I've been on eBay for over 25 years. Check my ratings, return policy and shipping time and buy with confidence. -In the unlikely event you receive an item purchased from me and something isn't right, doesn't meet expectations or is damaged in shipping, please contact me as soon as possible and I will work with you to make it right or refund through the eBay process. That said, I do take precautions and have counter-measures in place to prevent the ever-increasing number of scammers from abusing this policy**.______________________________________________- *If there is no other way to get a package to you except for UPS, please let me know as we will need to account for that with double or triple boxing, multiple additional layers of protection, delivery signature, and alternate & supplemental insurance. With UPS, assume most boxes will look like they've been punt-kicked all the way to your destination. **Scammers be warned: Over the years, I've seen every scam under the sun like "the package was empty when it arrived" or the "return / exchange a broken / beat-up item of the same model and keep the good item purchased on eBay". Any returns must be through eBay within 90 days of receiving the item & must be the same item, in the same condition as purchased. In addition, many scams constitute attempted felony mail fraud to which I will pursue to the fullest extent of the law.
