Edison Rollerballs! Fountain Pen and Rollerball Within Same Section!

Hi Pen Fans!

I am very happy to announce a unique option for Edison Rollerballs!

I have been able to engineer a neat concept within the interior of our grip sections for all models that use a #6 nib. This design will allow the grip section to house a Fountain Pen Nib and also a Rollerball Nosecone within the same unit.

This fountain pen/rollerball combination option will be compatible with all of our models that use a #6 sized nib. This includes the Collier, Beaumont, Elysian, Menlo, Brockton, Comet, Glenmont, Morgan, #76, Pearl, and Herald.

This will be an option for any new pen purchase, but we can also offer an aftermarket retrofit to any existing #6-nibbed converter filling Edison pen within your collection.

Compatible refills will be of the “G2” style. We will supply Uniball 207 Gel Refills, but Pilot G2’s, Pentel LR7’s, and many other G2 style refills are compatible.

This gives us three options to offer...

Option #1Purchase new pen with  FP/RB Combination Section. Comes equipped with all components required to use as Fountain Pen and Rollerball.Adds $35 to normal price of Fountain Pen
Option #2Retrofit an existing Edison Pen with FP/RB Combination Section.Ship pen to Edison for retrofit. $80 + $7 return shipping
Option #3Dedicated Rollerball, no Fountain Pen Option.Same price as fountain pen version

Below is a cross section of a grip section showing how this works. I have been able to engineer this in such a way that there are no compromises between the two configurations. In other words, the fountain pen configuration still retains the internal structure required to fully support the fountain pen nib housing. 

If you are interested in purchasing a ready-to-ship Currently Inventoried pen with this Rollerball option, we can do this. However, we will most likely need to manufacture the combination-style section. So rather than shipping immediately, please allow 1-2 business days.

At the time of publishing this announcement, we only have these rollerball nosecone options in rhodium (silver tone). However, gold versions are on the way and should be here within 4-6 weeks. 

Full details are within the video above, but please email me with any questions!

Current Inventory Pen Shows

DC Pen Show! Lots of Inventory Coming with Us!

Hi Pen Fans!

This weekend is the DC Pen Show! As always, this show is certainly one of the biggest and best! We hope to see you there!

We’ve been super busy over the last month or so making pens for our inventory, and we’ll be bringing well over 400 pens with us as part of our Current Inventory  for purchase at the show, or after the show if you cannot attend.

We also will be bringing plenty of our newest and currently our most popular model, the Elysian. We will have well over 35 custom Elysians coming with us to the show.

At the bottom of this page, you you will see a slide show displaying  every pen that we’ll be bringing to the show.

However, I’ll also include links below so that you can see each specific model that will be coming to the show with us.

We hope to see you this weekend!

Brian at Edison

Side note – normally we bring a special exclusive limited edition for each pen show, but I’m afraid that our production schedule did not allow us enough time to manufacture an exclusive pen for this show! However, rest assured that this is not the norm. To the best of our abilities, not having a special exclusive pen at a show will be one-time thing. Our apologies!

Pricing

Price Increase to Solid Gold Nibs :(

Hi Pen Fans.

I’m writing today with not the greatest of announcements. The ever-increasing gold rate has finally cascaded to Edison, and we’re being forced to significantly increase our price for pens equipped with 14k and 18k nibs.

For a long time, we’ve been clinging to our gold nib pricing as margins became worse and worse. But we’re at a point where the exploding gold rate no longer makes this possible, as our shipments are now coming to us with a very high price increase. 

Please see the graph below showing how the gold rate has nearly doubled in the last two years.

This very high rate has finally led to the current situation where I can no longer sustain my current gold nib pricing.

In the past, we added $100 to the cost of any pen that was equipped with a 14k or 18k nib. Unfortunately, effectively immediately, we will need to double this price. So any pen purchased with a #5 or #6 solid gold nib will have an extra $200 added to the normal steel nib price.

There are other factors, including the current rate of the Euro vs Dollar as well as the recent 10% tariff (HTS 9903.01.25) that is applied to every international shipment that I receive, which also influences this increase. However, the gold rate is certainly the primary factor.

Rest assured that I will closely monitor all of these factors moving forward. If pricing of solid gold nibs can come down in the future, I will certainly do so.

If anyone has any questions, please reach out.

Chicago Pen Show! With Limited Edition Elysian in Brooks Nebula!

Hi Pen Fans!

We’re excited to return to the Chicago Pen Show this weekend!

We will be bringing a Limited Edition version of our most recent model….the Elysian! This Elysian will be made from Jonathon Brooks Nebula, which is an Edison-exclusive recipe.

We have also added a pretty cool engraving to the centerband.

The Elysian is a model that we just introduced in late 2024, and it has been amazingly popular! See here for all details regarding this newer model.

This LE pen is exclusive to attendees of the Chicago Pen Show.

By looking closely at the centerband, you can see that we have added a special engraving specific to the Chicago Pen Show. This is a stylized version of the Chicago skyline!

The Edition will be limited to only 12 pens.

At past pen shows, our LE exclusives have sold pretty fast. Not everyone can attend each day of the show, and many cannot get off work to attend Friday. For this reason, we will limit our Friday sales of this LE to 8 pens only, and our Saturday sales to 4 pens. It will be first come, first served each day.

This pen will be $250 with a Steel nib or $350 with an 18k nib.

Outside of this Limited Edition pen, of course, we’ll be bringing lots and lots of our current inventory. We have been very busy making inventory specifically for this show. In fact, we’ll be bringing more than 400 pens! 

And of course, we will be bringing lots of custom Elysians. As of typing this, we are on par to be packing up around 35 custom Elysians for the show.

So our Current Inventory Galleries have been updated with lots of new pens that will be available at the show, but we still have a few more photos of inventoried pens to add later today. If you can’t attend the Chicago show this weekend, any pens that don’t sell at the show will be available when we return. Feel free to email me with an inquiry if something appeals.

You can see a slidehow of all current inventory pens at the bottom of this post, or click here.

We hope to see you this weekend!

New Materials from Tim Crowe and Current Inventory Updated!

Hi Pen Fans!

We are very happy to announce that we have partnered with a new craft material maker!

Tim Crowe with Turnt Pen Co has been on our radar for a while now. Over the last couple of years, we’ve had more than a few customers send us his materials for custom orders. Every time that we used his materials, they definitely got our attention! 

Below are a few examples, but there’s lots more to see!

Elysian in Crowe Cinder and Smoke
Collier in Crowe Arizona Abalone
Collier in Tim Crowe Carson 30
Elysian in Crowe Copper Sulfate

Digging deeper into Tim’s catalog of materials uncovered a lot of great stuff that we just couldn’t resist!

So as of now, we will be keeping regular inventory of Tim’s materials. This includes raw materials ready to make custom pens from and also pens that are currently inventoried and ready to ship.

CLICK HERE TO SEE ALL PENS THAT WE’VE MADE FROM TIM’S MATERIALS SO FAR, WITH MANY MORE TO COME!

Additionally, we have lots of new pens added to our Current Inventory Galleries that are ready to ship with no waiting!

The vast majority of these pens were intended to be inventory for the Baltimore Pen Show, but many of you know that we decided to back out of the show this year, but we will be back next year.

But this also means that rather than these pens being sold at the Baltimore Show, they are now ready to purchase from our Current Inventory!

The Elysian has been very popular, to the point that we’ve had trouble keeping them inventoried and ready to ship. So there are now lots of currently inventoried Elysians to choose from!

Thanks!

Small Run ‘Pourly Controlled’ LE Elysian in Holiday Theme!

Hi Pen Fans!

We are very happy to announce a special Limited Edition Elysian just in time for the Holidays!

The material for this pen was created by a maker that we’ve just recently discovered. Lisa Marie with Pourly Controlled! We’ve been ecstatic with her offerings and recently placed a sizable order of her materials for our regular inventory. So expect to see lots of new material choices from Lisa Marie in 2025!

This will be a smaller Limited Edition of only 25 pens. 

This material is highly transluscent, showing off the internal workings of the Elysian. It has some very nice red, green, and golden tones, along with a nice and subtle amount of sparkle! 

The Cap Band has a very small and subtle LE engraving.

These pens are converter fillers. They will come with a Steel nib in your choice of EF, F, M, B, BB, 1.1mm or 1.5mm tips.

The Elysian is our newest model and is very unique. See here for all details regarding the Elysian model.

Full specifications of the Elysian are here in Imperial or here in Metric. Or you can view the 3D model below with the option of also viewing the pen in Augmented Reality.

The price of this pen will be $250 and shipping.

Ohio Pen Show! With Limited Edition Elysian!

Hi Pen Fans!

We’re excited to be coming back to the Ohio Pen Show this weekend!

We will be bringing a Limited Edition version of our most recent model…. the Elysian! This Elysian will be made from Jonathon Brooks Elvenwood.

The Elysian is a model that we just introduced last week, and it has been amazingly popular! See here for all details regarding this new model.

This LE pen is exclusive to attendees of the Ohio Pen Show.

The Edition will be Limited to only 12 pens.

At past pen shows, our LE exclusives have sold pretty fast. Not everyone can attend each day of the show, and many cannot get off work to attend Friday. For this reason, we will limit our Friday sales of this LE to 8 pens only, and our Saturday sales to 4 pens. It will be first come, first served each day.

This pen will be $250 with a Steel nib or $350 with an 18k nib.

However, we will be including a FREE Hardwood Pen rest ($25 value) with each LE purchase.

Then normally a custom pen like this would also have a charge of $20 for materials, since Jonathon’s materials come to us much more expensive than our normal acrylics.

So under normal circumstances, this pen and rest would be $295 with a Steel nib, or $395 with an 18k nib.

Outside of this Limited Edition pen, of course we’ll be bringing lots and lots of our current inventory. We have been very busy making inventory specifically for this show. In fact, we’ll be bringing more than 400 pens!

And of course, we will be bringing lots of custom Elysians. As of typing this, we are on par to be packing up around 36 custom Elysians for the show.

So as of publishing this post, our Current Inventory Galleries have been updated with lots of new pens that will be available at the show. If you can’t attend the Ohio show this weekend, any pens that don’t sell at the show will be available when we return. Feel free to email me with an inquiry if something appeals.

We hope to see you this weekend!

DC Pen Show! With Cherry Blossom Limited Edition Comet!

Hi Pen Fans!

We’re excited to be returning to the DC Pen Show this weekend!

We will be bringing a Limited Edition pen that is exclusive to the show. We felt that a Cherry Blossom theme would be appropriate to DC, and this pen certainly fits the bill!

This is a Comet that is made from Jonathon Brooks Black Cherry Koi. The finial is made from a clear translucent material that has some nice red and black streaks going through it.

But what sets this pen apart is the clip! It has been coated in a red ceramic material for incredible durability. We’ve been playing around with ceramic coatings here and there, and this red color definitely compliments the Cherry Blossom theme!

This LE pen is exclusive to attendees of the DC Pen Show.

The edition will be limited to only 10 pens. Normally, we like to show up to pen shows with 15 or more LE pens like this, but with our July vacation schedule and all of our DC preparation work, we have been constrained on time lately and had to pare this down a little bit.

At past pen shows, our LE exclusives have sold pretty fast. Not everyone can attend each day of the show, and many cannot get off work to attend Friday. For this reason, we will limit our Friday sales of this pen to 7 pens only, and our Saturday sales to 3 pens. It will be first-come, first-served each day.

The price for this LE pen will be $275 with a Steel nib in EF, F, M, B, BB, 1.1mm, 1.5mm, Steel Flex EF, or Steel Flex F.

Outside of this Limited Edition pen, of course, we’ll be bringing lots and lots of our current inventory. We have done our best to make extra inventory for this show, and we’ll be bringing more than 400 pens!

As of publishing this post, our Current Inventory Galleries have been updated with lots of new pens that will be available at the show. If you can’t attend the DC show this weekend, any pens that don’t sell at the show will be available when we return. Feel free to email me with an inquiry if something that is ready to ship appeals.

We hope to see you this weekend!
