A0000004360 HOMENAJE AL ART NOUVEAU / EDICIÓN NOUVEAU BLUE GOLD (M): Exceptional high-end fountain pen Esterbrook Estie, in its acclaimed and very elegant catalog finish “Nouveau Blue Gold,” belonging to the modern contemporary collection of the legendary US firm under the factory reference ENB156-M. Designed as a celebration of early 20th-century classical art, this line blends an ergonomic torpedo-profile silhouette with the most advanced acrylic materials available today. This specimen stands out with its robust 15.0 cm long closed chassis, crafted in high-density turned acrylic resin with an intricate marbled pattern that blends deep blues, translucent light blues, and veining in copper and cream tones. The cap features a friction-fit closure system assisted by an internal spring that hermetically seals the block to prevent ink evaporation, fitted with a highly flexible gold-colored plated clip and bearing the firm’s name “Esterbrook” crisply engraved on the lower lip. The great centerpiece of this lot is its original steel nib with a yellow-gold plating, engraved with the historic Esterbrook clover and the date “Est. 1858,” displaying on the side the official medium stroke “M” seal. The feeding system operates via standard international cartridges or piston converter. It is presented in excellent preserved condition, complete with its official red fabric rigid case and outer protective box. Conservation Status: Collector’s Grade / Excellent Premium Condition The writing instrument is presented in superb cosmetic and mechanical condition, ideal for collectors: Nouveau Blue Acrylic Resin Chassis: The exterior surface exhibits a magnificent and uniform mirror polish throughout. Completely free of signs of use, stress cracks on the cap lip, or scratches from drops. The visual pattern offers chromatic depth and spectacular reflections under direct light. Gold Components and Engravings: In magnificent condition. The gold-plated clip and central ring are bright, intact and undiminished. The Esterbrook gilded script on the cap remains perfectly intact at 100%. Gold Steel Nib (M): Impeccable. The gold nibs are perfectly straight, symmetric, and aligned with respect to its modern flat feed, preserving its full iridium point to deliver a smooth, medium stroke with legendary softness. Mechanics and Complements: Fully operational. The interior is clean and comes with its official factory presentation with its original boxes, which appreciably enhances the lot for the auction. Curious Note for the Collector For international appraisers and pen-collecting experts on Catawiki, the Esterbrook Estie Nouveau Blue series with M nib is a highly coveted lot because this ribbed color pattern recreates the famous Tiffany-era stained glass and the Art Nouveau movement. It features the innovative internal grasp system called Cushion Cap Closure, which blocks air entry and ensures the pen writes instantly even after weeks of inactivity. The Nouveau Blue finished units presented in premium condition with their official complete box represent a superb investment opportunity with very stable value in the European market. I wish you the best of luck in your bidding and an excellent auction to all Catawiki participants!
