A Nice Write Up in Design World Magazine!

Hi Pen Fans!

I was real happy to see that the Beaumont Pneumatic Filler was featured in Design World Magazine!

Here’s the article.

The author does a real good job of describing the function, design, and advantages of using pneumatics in a fountain pen.

As a side note, keep your ears to the ground, as we will be launching another new and pretty interesting filling system in mid July!

Thanks!

Edison Offering Richard Binder 14k Full Flex Nibs!

Hi Pen Fans!

I’m very happy to announce a collaboration between Edison and Richard Binder.  We will now be offering fully flexible 14k nibs.

Please see the video below…

These nibs are awfully impressive.  As you can see in the video, there’s little difference between the vintage flex nib and Richard’s work.  Actually, Richard’s nib is offering a bit more flex.

Pricing is as follows (this is the cost for the flex alteration only…the cost of the pen including the 14k stock nib is in addition to this cost).

Fine – $100
XF, XXF, XXXF – $150
XXXXF – $165 (not recommended for beginners.)

Please note – as per our agreement with Richard, we cannot sell individual flex nibs. Only equipped on an Edison Pen.

If you are not familiar with flex nibs, I would recommend visiting Richard’s site to read a bit about proper care of flex nibs.

Let me know if there are any questions!

Back From Vacation, and New Models as Pneumatics!

Hi Pen Fans!

We are back from our vacation.  Albeit short, it was definitely needed!

The reason for this blog post is to make you aware that there are now options to have a Pneumatic Filler as a Huron, Glenmont, or Hudson.

Prior to this, the only pen that we had offered as a Pneumatic filler was the Beaumont.

But the pneumatic filling system has now been adapted to the Huron, Glenmont, and Hudson. 

Some of my clients find the Beaumont to be a smaller pen for their given hand size, so there are now some larger pneumatic options.

Now I realize that this might bring up a lot of questions as to which Edison models can and cannot be pneumatics, so I’ll give a rundown….

Currently avaible as pneumatic, ready to order – Beaumont, Huron, Glenmont, Hudson.
Possibly available as pneumatic, please inquire – Huron Grande, Morgan
Doubtful – Pearl, Pearlette, #76, Mina, Herald Grande, Herald, Collier, Encore, Premiere

The pens that are doubtful to ever be pneumatics are due either to the outer diameter, or the necessary shape of the blind cap, or both.

So there have already been some interesting new pneumatic models already ordered.  Below are examples (no Hudson photos yet)…..

 
Huron in Deep Red Swirl Ebonite….

Huron in Red Tortoise….

Glenmont in Sapphire Flake….

And here’s a neat custom job.  Essentially, this is a Collier Cap with a Glenmont Barrel…..

So if you have interest in a larger pneumatic filler, just reach out!

Cost of these new models will be the same as the Beaumont Pneumatic, $350 steel nib or $450 18k nib.

Thanks!

Time Away

A Short Vacation….

Hi Pen Fans!

We are going to be taking a short vacation early next week.  We will be gone until Wednesday night.

So if we’re slow with emails, you’ll know why.  We will return all emails on Thursday the 13th.

In the meantime, keep your ear to the ground…we will be launching a new and pretty unique filling system in the next 3-4 weeks, hopefully!  It’s coming together very nicely, and we’re really excited with this!

Thanks!
