The successful manufacture of steel writing pens in the United States was first established by Richard Esterbrook at Camden, NJ, in 1858. It's original location was on Cooper St. near the river, but later moved to Cherry Hill. In the 1960's the Esterbrook merged with another company and then closed it's New Jersey operations.
