Highly polished blended and turned acrylic barrels offer delightful color ways in many variations, combined with gold and rhodium accents.
Esterbrook's offering regularly includes highly sought after special editions in limited numbers of a unique color way, whilst new colors are periodically added to their core collection, inspired by artists such as Alphonse Mucha, the Golden Age of Hollywood and the sea glass that collects on the shores of New Jersey after years of being shaped by the waves.

Fisher Space Pens
It was Paul Fisher who first realised when man started to explore outer space, that there was no existing writing instrument that would function successfully (and safely) in zero gravity. He set about finding a solution and after much experimentation and development of his ideas, followed by extensive testing by NASA, the Fisher Space Pen was finally selected for use by NASA astronauts in 1967.
Since that time, millions of ordinary folk around the world have been able to benefit from this space-travel inspired technology. The pressurized solid ink technology results in a pen that doesn't leak and which writes reliably even on difficult surfaces. The Fisher Space Pen, has subsequently been adopted by the Russian space mission (they don't use pencil, as the conductive graphite is hazardous in the confines of a space vehicle). Back on Earth, Fisher Space Pens are really good for doing crosswords in bed, because they write upside-down!
Graf von Faber-Castell Pens
The company first started making the wood-cased pencil in 1761, but it is the current head of the company, Count Anton Wolfgang von Faber-Castell who has been instrumental in developing the successful luxury brand of Graf von Faber-Castell.

The Slim and Pocket ranges, exquisitely made, with their fine Palladium finish, combine elegance and sophisticated design with everyday practicality. The Intuition and Intuition Platino are the latest additions to the Graf range with their clever combination of carefully polished precious resin and platinum trim.
