Esterbrook Estie King of the Night Fountain Pen

The King of the Night is a limited-edition Estie from Esterbrook, inspired by 1950s horror pop art and the classic vampire films of that decade. It is made from deep red alumilite with a shimmer of gold and ivory, finished with gold trim and a gold-plated stainless steel JoWo nib.

Esterbrook dates back to 1858, and its special editions are where the company has the most fun. This one leans into vintage B-movie theater: the red moves from wine to garnet as the pen turns in your hand, and the gold and ivory shimmer catches the light like candlelight in a castle hall. It arrives in packaging styled after vintage horror films, with a glow-in-the-dark Esterbrook logo, a leatherette sleeve cut like a vampire's cape, and themed stationery.

The cushion closure inner cap keeps the ink wet and the pen ready to write, and it fills with a standard international cartridge or converter.

Because no two pens share the same pattern, you can choose the exact one you'll receive through our free concierge service. To learn why, read Why No Two Esterbrook Esties Look Exactly Alike.
