Hi Pen Fans!

We're back from LA and quite exhausted!  We'll take today and probably tomorrow off, but I will do my best to catch up on some emails today.

In the meantime, I will share some of my photos from the show.  Unfortuntately, we were packed so full of pens, that we didn't have any room in our luggage for my good camera!  So here's some iPhone photos....and also not very many!  The LA Show was so busy this year that I really didn't have much time to get my usual number or photos.

Hi Pen Fans!

We will be leaving for the LA Pen Show soon.  If I'm slow with emails this weekend, you'll know why.

Below is a video showing all of the pens that we'll be bringing with us.

The response to our Pneumatic Filling Beaumont has been amazing in the last couple of months.  We've been real busy making those pens in preparation for this show.  Currently, we have almost 80 Pneumatic Beaumont pens ready to sell!

If you can't make the LA Pen Show, you can see the gallery of all Current Inventory here.  Any of these pens are availalbe whether or not you are attending the show.

We hope to see lots of you there!

Hi Pen Fans!

In the past, I've never been shy about my praise for the Fountain Pen Geeks.

They've been around a relatively short time period, but in that time period, they have become (in my opinion) the best Fountain Pen Blog out there.  Awesome Reviews, Inkcyclopedia, Podcasts, Fountain Pen TV, and Pen Show Coverage only scratches the surface of the features and content over there. 

If you don't already, I recommend adding them to your blog reader, iTunes podcasts, or simply bookmark them (and I usually don't go out of my way to promote any pen blogs).

So when the "Geeks" asked me to donate a pen for their February Giveaway, I was more than happy to oblige!

Please visit this link to check out all the details.....but essentially, they will have a write-in giveaway that has a deadline of February 28th.

And the lucky winner will receive any Beaumont Pneumatic that is Currently Inventoried at the time of the drawing.

Thanks!

 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!

As usual, the Philadelphia Pen Show was wonderful!

There was a great article written in the Philadelphia PBS Online Newspaper if you'd like to read it.

Our newest pen, the Beaumont Pneumatic, was a huge hit!  The response to this new pen was wonderful!

Normally at pen shows, I'm able to get lots of photos, but at this particular pen show, I was able to get about half of the photos as I normally would.  That's how busy we were!

Slideshow of my photos are below.  In particular, take a look at the Custom Bookbindings by Raymond Townsend!  He's a newcomer to the pen shows, and I was definitely entralled with his work!

I'm catching up on emails now and will continue to do so tomorrow, so if anyone is expecting an email from me, you'll get by lunchtime tomorrow!

Thanks!

 Hi Pen Fans!

We will be heading out to the Philly Pen Show shortly!

If we are slow with emails, you'll know why.

Below, you will see our Current Inventory.

You can watch the video below, or check out these pens in the Current Inventory Gallery.

All of these pens can be bought at the show.  Whatever is not sold will still be available for purchase afterwards, of course.

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!

 Hi Pen Fans!

Due to a lot of emails from clients, we are going to extended the buying period for the Limited Editon Glenmont Bulb Filler another week.  The buying period will now end on the 14th.

We had a lot of feedback from people who really wanted to own the pen, but the timing of this buying period being around the Holidays was not best.  We listened, and decided to allow another week for the people who voiced this issue.

Remember that this is the first Limited Edition Bulb Filler that we've offered, and due to the volume of sales, it's also the first time that a bulb filler has been offered at a discount from our retail prices.

Thanks!
