ESTERBROOK #1 OBLIQUE


Esterbrook #1 Oblique        


Description: 

An oblique pen with a sharp point. A half-circle vent hole. Bronze




ESTERBROOK #1 OBLIQUE

Remarks:  

Oblique pens are popular for calligraphy. The angled head of the pen places the pen point more perpendicular to the writing surface when used with a straight pen holder. Oblique pens usually have good flexibility which allows for dramatic swells in drawn lines.

This particular pen style has a larger than normal heel radius and will not fit standard pen holders. I was able to get it fitted to an Esterbrook Pen Releaser mechanism holder with difficulty.
