Hi Pen Fans!

There's a new material coming out in the Production Line Beaumont. 

This is a really nice deep red flake.  We are calling it Bordeaux Flake.

Actually, this is a material that we really wanted to use in the Beaumont when this pen was first launched, but we couldn't get it in large enough quantities back then.  I was very happy to get a large shipment of this, and so it's time to add this to the Production Line of Beaumonts!

Being a Production Line Pen, you'll buy this pen from the retailers that carry Edison for $149.  The retailers are listed below....

 US Retailers
Anderson Pens
Goldspot Luxury Gifts
Goulet Pen Company
ISellPens
Richard Binder

 International Retailers
Alexander Pen Co (Canada)
Nagasawa (Kobe, Japan)
Nagasawa  (Osaka, Japan)
Stylos.se (Sweden)
The Writing Desk (UK)

Thanks!

Hi Pen Fans!

The 2013 LE Morgans are finished, packed up, and will be dropped off at the post office tomorrow!

All that participated in this project should have received tracking information by now.

Below is a photo showing the entire project (my apologies for not taking a nicer picture, but in order to get these pens out the door and still give ourselves some prep time for the Chicago Pen Show, we had to move fast!)

The complete gallery is here, or you can watch the slideshow below. 

The Fountain Pen Network is currently down, so when it's back up, I'll put more pics within the progress thread.

Thanks to all who participated!

Hi Pen Fans!

For those of you who are participaing in the 2013 LE Morgan, we have commenced manufacturing!

The acrylic is here, so we are working on them.  The ebonite should be here soon, and then we'll get to work on them.

If you would like to check out progress, please take a look at this thread at the FPN, or this photo gallery.  Both the thread, and the gallery will be updated as we progress.

On a side note, it's time to give a sneak peek of a new Stealth Pen!

See photo below.  We'll make an official announcement next week when this pen is ready to ship!

Stay Tuned!

Hi Pen Fans!

Just a quick reminder that the buying period for the 2013 Limited Edition Morgan will end Sunday night.

We only do these direct group buys once a year, so if you are on the fence, this is your last chance until Spring 2014.

The ordering page is here.

Once we get a final number, we'll begin construction on these pens next week, so stay tuned!

Everyone have a great weekend!

 Hi Pen Fans!

The Limited Edition Bulb Filler in collaboration with the Andersons is under construction!  

If you'd like to see progress photos, please visit this link.  This will be updated as we make progress, if you'd like to bookmark it.

The Anderson's blog post showing progress is here.

We are working on the acrylic pens now, and it looks like ebonite just cleared customs, so we should be getting to work on ebonite pens pretty soon.

Barring something unforeseen, these pens should be delivered prior to the LA Pen Show (2nd week of Feb).

Thanks!

Hi Pen Fans!

I'm proud to announce that the Edison Pen Co is releasing a Beaumont Pneumatic Filler to the Signature Line.  

This is a pretty unique filling system.  They were very popular in the 20's and 30's, as well as the 50's and 60's.  As long as my pen history is correct, no pen company has made pneumatic fillers on a production scale since then.

Please watch the video below for all details.

Highlights from the video....
00:17 - Pen Announcement, General Description
04:10 - What is a Pneumatic Filler?  How Does it Work?
07:07 - Why a Pneumatic Filler?  What are the Advantages?
10:12 - How to Fill
13:52 - Maintenance
16:51 - Pricing

Please visit the Beaumont Pneumatic Filler Main Page for all specifications and pricing. 

Please note that the sacs used in these pens are 100% silicone.  This is much better than latex, which has been typical in fountain pens from the beginning until now.

From the seller of these sacs:
"100% silicone sacs will outlast conventional latex sacs several times over; unaffected by the most reactive inks.  Latex sacs can release sulfur compounds as they age, which discolor plastics such as celluloid.  To preserve original color, and to stand up to modern inks, 100% silicone is the best choice available" 

We have almost 40 of these pens currently inventoried and ready to ship.  Please visit the following link to see all Beaumont Pneumatic Fillers that are currently inventoried and ready to ship.  Or, of course, you can place a custom order in whatever material you would like.

Let me know if there are any questions!
