Black Oxide, 18k 1.1 Stub, BB, and OBB Nibs!

Hi Pen Fans!

I’m very happy to announce that we have some new nibs to introduce.

First off is a really neat Black Oxide nib.  Previously, I really liked the looks of ruthenium nibs, but these Black Oxide nibs have them beat hands down!  See pic below.

 

This Black Oxide nib is available in Steel only, and #6 size only (sorry, no #5 Black Oxide yet).

In addition to this, we also have some new additions to our 18k nib tip offerings.

We can now offer our 18k nibs in 1.1mm Stub, Double Broad (BB), and Oblique Double Broad (OBB).  I won’t include photos of these nibs, as they will look identical to our normal 18k nibs.  Only the tip will look different.

So let’s rundown all of the nibs and tip sizes that Edison can offer….

Steel
Two Tone, Single Tone, and Black Oxide
EF, F, M, B, 1.1 and 1.5 italic

18k
Two Tone and Rhodium Plated
EF, F, M, B, 1.1 Stub, BB, and OBB

 

If you have any questions, feel free to each out!

Time Away

On Holiday Break…Thanks For Another Great Year!

Hi Pen Fans!

We are currently taking our Holiday Break.

However, we will be working off and on around the Holidays on the LE Mina Project.

So we will be working some during this time period, but I will be taking a much needed break from my computer.  Outside of this, our focus will be on our families.  So if I don’t respond to emails until after the New Year, you’ll know why.

I’d like to say thanks to everyone for another great year!  We at Edison truly appreciate your business!

Everyone have a great Holiday Season!

2015 LE Mina Update #2

Hi Pen Fans!

Time for an update to the 2015 LE Mina Project!

Admittedly, our progress has not been as fast as I would have liked.  The Ohio Pen Show took a lot of our time for preparation, we had a few ancillary projects in middle-late November, and then our Holiday Rush in December has been much busier that I would have ever predicted.  I was anticipating having a lot more done in December, but our Holiday orders have us really swamped!  It’s a good thing that I quoted up to 4 months, as unexpected things can happen, and they have!

We have cleared off the last 2 weeks of December so that we can focus hard on this project, and January looks to not be so crazy for us.

But in the meantime, I’ll attach the progress so far.  We have more than 20 of the acrylic Minas just about finished.  We’ll be working hard on the rest of the series next week and into the New Year.

Expect to see more updates as we get this project ramped up!

Well, the buying period for the 2015 LE Mina has passed.  We sold well over 200 pens!  I’ll have an exact number once I get a chance to work it out accurately.

This update shows all of our materials, which just arrived today!  Lots of ebonite and acrylic in the raw form!  See pic below.

We have a couple of ancillary projects to wrap up this week and then we will begin manufacturing next week!

Stay tuned!

Michigan Pen Show, and LE Mina Reminder…

Hi Pen Fans!

We will be leaving today for the Michigan Pen Show!  If I’m slow with emails, you’ll know why. We hope to see you there!

Also a quick reminder that the 2015 LE Mina buying period will be ending on Monday evening at 11:59 pm!

If you’ve been on the fence about this pen, there’s not a lot of time left.  If you have not placed the order before this time, then you will miss out…no exceptions.

Thanks!
