Esterbrook Pens
The Esterbrook Pen Company was a true American Original.
For one hundred years Esterbrook was the pride of Camden, NJ.
In 1858, entrepreneur Richard Esterbrook established his pen company under the trademark Esterbrook Pen Company, which would soon become one of the biggest and most beloved pen makers in the world. At its height, Esterbrook was the largest pen manufacturer in the United States employing 600 workers.
Much of America’s history has been written and created with Esterbrook pens. U.S. presidents Abraham Lincoln and Lyndon B. Johnson signed legislation with their Esterbrook pens. John F. Kennedy called for our nation to literally reach for the stars, signing documents that promised to land a man on the moon and bring him safely back to earth.
Famous Disney artist Carl Banks brought Donald Duck to life with an Esterbrook No 356. Peanuts creator Charles M. Schulz used the No 914 for all his comics. All the while millions of students grew up learning to write using Esterbrook pens. It is fair to say that these visionaries, and artists, helped Esterbrook to become an integrated part of America’s politics and culture in the 19th and 20th centuries.
When a dream comes true, how does one summarize it in a paragraph?
I am delighted to share this special collaboration between Esterbrook and TheCoffeeMonsterzCo. I first met Bryan at the NYC Stationery Fest in August 2024 and we floated around the idea of working together. I was sure Esterbrook would lose interest in working with me at some point during the process so I made sure not to get my hopes up. But no, Bryan made kept me in the loop throughout the process, he made accommodations for me due to our limitations as a small business, and he was receptive to all of my picky requests. And because of that, I am so proud to be able to share my dream pen with you!
