This week, we will be announcing a new pen within the Production Line!
These new pens are on the way to retailers now, so we can’t announce it quite yet. So for now, we’re putting out a little teaser!
The pic below is of the materials that we will be using.
We will announce this officially on Thursday, so stay tuned!
And just to clarify, this pen is totally different than a new filling system that I alluded to in a previous blog post. The pen with the new filling system is about 2-3 weeks from being announced. So two new pens will make July a busy month at Edison!
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.
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….
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.
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!
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 animation and video below for all details.
