FOLLOW UP: Esterbrook Phaeton 300r

I wanted to follow up with more information I omitted in my last video on the Esterbrook Phaeton 300r fountain pen. Also, I correct one mistake I made in the video.

Esterbrook Phaeton and Stipula Pasaporto Unboxing

It took the US Postal Service seven days to get this package from Goulet Pens to me once they had it in their local distribution center, but I finally got to unbox my latest pen mail order. You see it as I see it. I got a few pens for giveaway like a Lamy Safari, a Nemosine Singularity, and a Platinum Preppy marker. I also picked up a bunch of ink samples that were on sale. The main two items that I wanted to play with, however, were a modern Esterbrook Phaeton 300R and a Stipula Passaporto.
