2013 Limited Edition Morgan - an Acrylic Poll, and Then We are Ready!

Mon, 18 Mar 2013 10:01:00 -0400

Hi Pen Fans.

The results of the materials poll yielded Briar Swirl as the clear ebonite winner, so Briar Swirl will be the ebonite material for the 2013 LE Morgan.

However, the acrylic choice is not clear. The poll required that people vote for both materials, which led to inaccurate acrylic results. Besides, right now, there's a dead tie.

So we are going to do a quick poll just for the acrylics. This poll will close on Thursday, 9:00 am EST.

Then we'll go to a purchasing period, then start manufacturing.

So if you plan on participating in the 2013 LE Morgan, please visit this link to cast your vote for the acrylic.

Hi Pen Fans!

For those of you who regret not participating in last year's 2012 Pearl LE Group Buy, please remember that we only offer one Group Buy Pen each year direct from Edison, so this will be your only chance to get a Signature Line Pen direct (valued at $250 retail) at a significant discount until 2014. Exact price is yet to be determined, but anticipate between $175 and $195.

I'll include photos of some of the offerings, but the entire process will be handled over at the Fountain Pen Network. You can see all details over there.

Beaumont Pneumatic Giveaway!

Fri, 01 Feb 2013 10:33:00 -0400

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!

Edison Pen Giveaway!

Mon, 04 Jun 2012 15:53:00 -0400

Hi Pen Fans!

Those of you who have seen some of my appearances on the FPGeeks Radio Show will already know that I'm a huge fan of Dan and Eric, and everything that they do for the fountain pen community.

You can read a previous blog post here singing the praises for all things FPGeek! Bottom line, if you haven't checked them out, be sure to. They have one of the most informational and entertaining sites devoted to fountain pens, no doubt.

So when they asked me to donate an Edison Pen for a giveaway, how could I resist!

Group Buy(s)?

Mon, 23 Apr 2012 13:04:00 -0400

Hi Pen Fans!

Well, the LE Pearl Group buy has concluded on our end. The LE Pearls are waiting on FedEx to arrive today to pick them up. If you participated in this group buy, you can expect your pen to arrive hopefully this week!

If you'd like to see the entire progression of this project, click here.

Here are all the LE Pearls prior to shipping....

But did someone say Group Buys?

Yep, there is another LE Group Buy going on right now!

The nice guys over at Badger and Blade have commissioned a Limited Edition Herald Grande.

If you are not familiar, Badger and Blade is a forum dedicated to wet-shaving. Wet-shaving and fountain pens seem to go hand in hand (those guys certainly have me hooked on wetshaving!).

Badger and Blade does have their own forum dedicated to Fountain Pens called The Nib. This forum is easily the second largest fountain pen forum on the net, so be sure to check it out. It's a great resource, and a wonderful forum. I swear that Badger and Blade is one forum in particular that is completely devoid of trolls and nastiness. I have never seen such a friendly bunch of people congregate on the net!

You don't need to be a wetshaver to participate in The Nib or The Herald Grande LE, so be sure to head over there and have a look around. If you happen to get hooked on wetshaving like I did by heading over there, then no harm!

The LE Herald Grande will be in Blue/Black Swirl Ebonite, and will be priced at $175. That's $100 less than retail. The buying period will conclude on Wednesday of this week, so there's only a couple of days left.

Click Here to see details if you are interested in participating in this group buy.

Thanks!

2012 Pearl LE Group Buy Update...

Mon, 26 Mar 2012 09:53:00 -0400

Hi Pen Fans.

Real quick - if you are participating in the 2012 LE Pearl Group Buy, I've started a "Progress Thread" here....

Progress Thread

The entire process will be documented at the thread above in photos and videos.

So if you want to watch the pens being "born", or if you are curious about the penmaking process, we will be doing a lot of documenting from beginning to end. You can bookmark this thread to keep up with our progress.

Thanks!

Pearl Limited Edition Group Buy...

Mon, 12 Mar 2012 16:36:00 -0400

Hi Pen Fans!

Most of your are aware that there is a Pearl Limited Edition Group Buy going on.

If you are not aware, then you can visit these threads to get up to speed....

Click Here for the Announcement and Terms Thread

Click Here for the Materials Poll Thread

So to summarize, there is a lot of interest in a Limited Edition Pearl. We tried to narrow it down to one material, but the votes were so close that we decided to just go ahead and make a Limited Edition Pearl with two materials.

There will be a Pearl in Beige/Black Swirl ebonite for $190....

....or in Cobalt Fleck Acrylic for $170.

So if you are interested in getting a Pearl at a significant discount, you can....

Click Here for the Purchasing Thread

or....

Click Here for the Purchasing Page at the Goulet Pen Company

There will be a purchasing window of only two weeks. Your last chance to buy either pen will be Sunday, March 25th at Midnight, EST.

Group buys that are run by the Edison Pen Company, and not another organization happen very rarely (this is the first), so if you've ever wanted a Signature Line pen at a significant discount, you have two weeks to decide!

Thanks.

Current Inventory Updated, Pearl Group Buy, and Production Collier....

Fri, 02 Mar 2012 13:54:00 -0400

Hi Pen Fans.

Three things to cover within this blog post....

1. Current Inventory has been updated since the LA Pen Show. There are around 50 new pens there, including about 12 bulb fillers. Click here for the gallery.

2. There is a group buy in progress at the Fountain Pen Network. The pen will be a clipped Pearl. If you have ever wanted to get a Pearl at a lower price, go here for details.

3. The material for the Production Line Collier in Antique Marble is going through a very small change. The manufacturer slightly changed the color. See the photo below.

The new version is on the left. The old version is on the right.

I think that you can see that the difference is very very slight. There is a little bit less orange. This difference is so slight, that I hesitated to even announce it, but I felt it was best do do so.

There are no more of the original versions left, so from now on, all of the retailers will be carrying this slightly less orange color.

Thanks!
