The Esterbrook JR Pocket Pen is a tribute to the Esterbrook “J” - a sleek, classic pocket pen that appealed to the practicality of the times. The revival of this 1940’s and 50’s pen has all of the hallmarks of its predecessor, with a few new bells and whistles.
The JR is Esterbrook's new take on the small but mighty pocket pen. The “JR” (which stands for "J reborn") is stylish, refined, and compact in size, so you can always keep one in your jeans, shirt pocket, purse, or briefcase.
Entrepreneur Richard Esterbrook established The Esterbrook Pen Company in 1858, and at its height, Esterbrook was the largest pen manufacturer in the United States, employing 600 workers and producing 600,000 pens a day.
Much of America’s history has been written and created with Esterbrook pens, with owners including US presidents Abraham Lincoln and John F. Kennedy, Disney artist Carl Banks and Peanuts creator Charles M. Schulz. Millions of American students grew up learning to write using Esterbrook pens.
Having ceased trading in the 1970s, in 2018 Esterbrook was revived by Kenro Industries to write its next chapter. Esterbrook moved 120 miles north to Kenro headquarters in Mineola, New York, where its storied past will forever be a part of its promising future.
