Did you know that President Harding wore size fourteen shoes? He had the largest feet of all the presidents. It's true. Feel free to tell all your friends.
Remember back in the day when markers first came out? Yeah, I don't either. But my pen collection has an old reminder and here we have the Esterbrook (That's right I said Esterbrook) Advanced Flo-master writing thingy.
I have a deep love for my Esterbrooks, although the love sort of stops here. I guess the idea of a refillable felt tip pen full of lead based ink appealed to some people in the world in the 50's. You still see these in the marketplace every now and then, usually for a ten spot or less and I am not sure anyone is actually doing anything with these other than staring at the Esterbrook marking on the cap.
It does have a good look to it, parked here on top of my Storm I could see carrying this around. I understand there were different tips and colors you could purchase. I will stick to my Sharpies (which first showed up in 1964)

That is a very nice looking pen. Nr
Ironically, Sharpie is about to release a line of stainless steel Sharpies with replaceable cartridges.
Hi.
I've just purchased the same pen off ebay. What's the story here? I thought Esterbrook does not exist anymore. I can not find a company website. Am I wrong? And if so do they still offer 'Flo-Master' ink?
Thanks
