There is also a drawer at the top of the wooden case that is a useful and discrete storage space if the piece is to be hung on a wall.
The Esterbrook Pen Company, founded in 1858 was one of the largest and most prominent pen manufacturers in the United States. Take a look through the images to see a vintage advertisement for retailers, showcasing how these display cases were used.
