Esterbrook JR Pocket Fountain Pen - Pumpkin Latte
This pearlescent brown resin pocket-sized fountain pen is the Esterbrook JR, short for "J Reborn". It comes with gold-plated trim and an orange finial. A modern take on a vintage classic. It fills via standard international cartridge/converter (included) and has a JoWo #5 stainless steel nib.
From Esterbrook:
At the end of September, a controversial thing happens. The pumpkin latte arrives at nearly every coffee shop and cafe. Whether you love it or hate it, it IS a phenomenon of the 21st century. Most likely, the pumpkin latte is here to stay and from now until the end of October it will be the drink of choice for millions of people around the world.
In New Jersey, the home of Esterbrook, pumpkins have always been a big part of the fall season. Pumpkin patches all over the state are visited by families for hayrides, corn mazes, petting zoos and for choosing pumpkins to decorate for Halloween and trick or treating. While some of those pumpkin farms may now serve pumpkin lattes, they have been serving up family traditions for decades.
The “J” was Esterbrook’s sleek and suave, classic pocket pen that appealed to the practicality of the times. It was a perfect pen for both men and women, and we think it still is today. In celebration of these time-honored places, we’ve brewed up a little something of our own. Introducing the JR Pumpkin Latte. It’s our way to mix a little bit of our home state’s heritage with our morning cup of Joe.
The new “JR” is stylish and refined without being too fancy. It’s meant to match your style, as well as it graces your hand. With a refined design, that isn’t fussy, it is compact in size, so you can always have one on hand in your jeans or shirt pocket, purse, or briefcase. It can be with you on the go, wherever you go.
We do our best to photograph the pens to show how they will appear in person, but due to the nature of the material, there will be some variation in the pattern seen here. This adds an element of uniqueness to the pen, with no two patterns being exactly the same. We cannot honor special requests.
