Esterbrook J, antique store find.
I came across a 1961 Sheaffer Imperial VIII TD set over the weekend. Both the pen and the mechanical pencil are in great shape. No dings, dents, rat bites... The sac is gone so it is headed off to Danny Fudge this week.
It retailed for $27.50 in 1961. The seller offered a 10% discount so it followed me home for $27.

A Gillette American Button Company razor set with a great case and handle from the same seller also followed me home for $18. I decided not to dicker and got out of Dodge with my finds.

The 1555 Gregg it doesn't suit my writing style, it's extremely scratchy!Early transitional model, very nice! Which nib came with it?
I've got a WTB posted. Hopefully somebody's got a better nib. The pen is immaculate, and I'd love to use it more.I hated the 1555 nib I had in my first Esterbrook. It almost turned me against the brand!
