The collaboration with Schulz highlighted Esterbrook’s role in the creative process of one of America’s most iconic cartoonists, cementing its place in the world of artistry and writing.
JFK
In 1961, President John F. Kennedy made history with an Esterbrook pen. As he championed the ambitious goal of landing a man on the moon by the end of the decade, Kennedy used the pen to sign a crucial bill on July 21st that significantly increased NASA's budget. This legislative action was a key step in the U.S. space race, which had been ignited by the Soviet Union's launch of Sputnik in 1957. Kennedy’s commitment, symbolized by the Esterbrook pen, set the stage for the Apollo 11 mission in 1969, fulfilling his vision of space exploration and affirming America’s place in the space race.
