The Esterbrook No. 427 Double Dip-Less Desk Set is a vintage Art Deco desktop inkwell and pen caddy introduced around 1940.

Design and Features

·       Dual Reservoirs: Features two thick glass ink bottles housed in a heavy black Bakelite base (measuring roughly 9" wide x 6" deep).

·       Ink Conservation: Small internal channels connect each reservoir to the pen holders, keeping dip pen tips moist and ready to write for weeks.

·       Multi-Color Capability: Designed to hold two different ink colors simultaneously (such as black and red).

·       Desktop Caddy: Includes a front tray or triangular well in the middle for loose nibs and blotting paper.

 

Around the 1930s and 1940s, Esterbrook expanded into specialized desk sets like the #427, allowing users to use dip pens without internal sacs or constant re-inking.
