ESTERBROOK Estie Petrified Forest Gold Fountain Pen

Esterbrook has just released the new Estie Route 66 Petrified Forest, which has us wondering: is there anything more American than Route 66? On one road alone, you get to experience the diversity of the entire U.S. landscape. From prairies to mountains, deserts to plains, Rt. 66 has a way of introducing you to the majesty of America and seeing the world through a new perspective. What better place, then, to start the journey through Route 66 in a new series of pens from Esterbrook?

The large stretches of mountain look as though a watercolor brush was stroked across the sides, creating a visually stunning effect unlike anywhere else in the U.S.
