EPISODE 15: ALL ABOUT THE ESTERBROOK PUMP PISTON

This episode is all about the Esterbrook Pump Piston found in some Esterbrook Estie fountain pens. It's a great filling system that brings together the filler in the vintage Parker Vacumatic and invokes a pen in the history of the Esterbrook brand, the Safari (I am not joking). So come geek out at me as we explore this great offering from Esterbrook.
