Vintage Esterbrook Repair Options

Being stewards of a heritage brand means that we understand that our clients have a long history of collecting our products. For over 150 years, Esterbrook has been synonymous with the American writing community. Because of this, we know that many of our customers have collected our earlier models. Whether you inherited a pen from your grandfather or found one in a flea market, we’re committed to keeping your pen writing for generations to come. While we do not do in-house repairs for our vintage models, we have built relationships with pen enthusiasts who know our brand well. Below you will find information for our preferred repair companies to assist in restoring your vintage Esterbrook to its former glory. You can also email us and a member of the team will assist you in finding the best solution for your repair.
