Early "V" Clip Pens - These are the first of the American made Esterbrook pens. They are distinctive in that they have the "V" type clip. The clips are held on by a top jewel that rivets it to the top of the pen. The metal is stamped and appears fairly flimsy. In addition to black they come in Morocco Red, Foliage Green, and Pearl Gray. They are found in two sizes. The black pens are fairly hard to find but the colored models are very difficult to find.
