Described in contemporary advertising (Zanarian) as: "No. 14. Jackson Stub Pen. Falcon shape. The most popular stub pen made. Good inkholding capacity."
The Esterbrook Project describes this nib as providing a stub tip on a falcon body. "V" shaped vent hole. Little flexibility. Gray finish.
The American Stationer (10/31/1889) described Esterbrook's 048 "Falcon" as undoubtedly the most popular form of fine pointed steel pen ever put on the market. There was a steady call for a pen of similar style, but with a stub point. In response to this the Esterbrook Pen Company put on the market a pen filling these requirements. This new pen is known as the 14 "Jackson Stub," and an illustration of it is presented herewith. The pen has a smooth, easy action, and possesses qualities which will commend it to those who wish a thoroughly effective pen for rapid writing.
Esterbrook Pens and What They Will Do describes this as a good stub pen for business use. Well liked by lawyers. Medium stub point.
