I started with ordering two Esties to try the specialty nibs and the store.... Then I purchased another... and two more! I spent way too much and have too many pens but I enjoyed every minute. I never imagined I would like Esterbrook Pens this much, and appreciate the people at Iguana Sell even more. All of my fountain pens write smooth, straight out of the box! That keeps me looking at them to add to the collection. Color patterns are beautiful, but I am partial to lighter colors. I will admit that they are a little more than I usually spend, so I try to limit myself Very hard to do.. I am looking at colors I don't have, and I am confident that I will have a great pen from a fantastic store! I even have an Estie rollerball now to use when travelling. I will order another soon. Thank you Iguana Sell!
