Found in the wild - Esterbrook $8

[Kent Kimmons]

Picked up an Esterbrook M2 Aerometric today for $8. Appears to be in very good condition internally and good condition externally. I would post pictures but my call phone camera is kind of poor. However, you can get a good idea what it looks like here:

The color is red like the top pen and the style is exactly like the green pen below it.

The nib is a 1551 Medium Firm (Student).

It will be off to Danny Fudge soon for a general checkup and to fix whatever he may find that isn't up to spec.

A local antique place. I passed on a Sheaffer desktop set (fountain/ballpoint) because the ballpoint looked like it may have been a bit abused. I have my grandfather's Esterbrook desk pen on my desk now (inked for use) and do not need anything larger. Still, it hurt to pass on that one.
