Drawing inspiration from vintage aesthetics, the Model J encapsulates the essence of timeless design.

Each pen starts its life as natural caoutchouc, harvested from the caoutchouc tree in a delicate process that ensures the tree's health and longevity. The caoutchouc is then washed, rolled into plates, and dried, becoming Crepe No. 1—the highest grade of natural rubber.
The magic unfolds as this rubber is mixed with sulphur and linseed oil to form a hard rubber compound, a homage to the accidental discovery by Charles Goodyear. Under the precise conditions of SEM’ s autoclaves, the compound undergoes vulcanization, transforming into durable, shiny, hard ebonite. This material is then shaped into the rods and profiles from which these pens are meticulously crafted.
Ebonite is renowned for its durability and tactile warmth, and serves as the perfect material for the Model J. It offers a unique writing experience, providing a comfortable grip and a smooth writing surface. Its natural lustre and rich colours enhance the aesthetic appeal of the pen, while its robust construction ensures longevity and reliability. Embrace the classic allure and superior performance of ebonite with the Model J, a testament to Esterbrook's commitment to craftsmanship and quality. Available in two captivating colourways, Violet and Blackberry, these pens add a vibrant touch to your writing experience, combining elegance with modern flair.
