Hi Pen Fans!
For those that subscribe to Pen World Magazine, you might have seen an article regarding Edison in the December 2025 issue!
For those that didn’t see the article, you can read it by CLICKING HERE (linked with permission).
When Pen World approached us, I was so happy to learn that Barry Gabay was assigned to this article! Andrea and I have been at this for more than 18 years now, and we remember Barry being around for our first pen show! So I’m honestly not even sure how long Barry has been at it, but certainly longer than us!
Barry became a good friend over the years, and there was truly no one better qualified with a deeper understanding of Edison throughout the years and how we have evolved from the very beginning.
The article covers Edison from our genesis 18+ years ago when I was working out of our garage, all the way to today. But Barry gets even more in-depth with our backgrounds before pens, how we established ourselves before social media even existed, how we handled growth, hired more, our employee atmosphere, and how we moved to our larger, current facility.
I want the thank Barry as well as Nicky Pessaroff (editor-in-chief who has been with Pen World since 2001), for allowing us some space in the magazine! It was quite flattering when we were approached.
Lastly, I do feel obligated to let everyone know how I feel about Pen World and what I’ve observed over my years of manufacturing pens.
Pen World has been around since 1987, so coming up on 40 years! And as long as I’ve been at this, Pen World has been such an amazing asset to the pen community.
They cover topics from basic beginner pens all the way up to expensive luxury pens. From the largest manufacturers to the smallest independent makers. Of course, they cover modern pens, but their coverage of vintage pens is equally impressive.
And considering that no one can make every pen show, you will always find coverage of what you might have missed at the last few shows, along with learning of the upcoming shows.
If you don’t already subscribe to Pen World, I encourage you to give it consideration. Or at least pick up the latest issue (print or digital) and get a feel for what they are about. I think that you’ll find that their content speaks for itself and that they deserve your support in an age when print media of such high quality content could certainly use it.
Again, thanks to Nicky, Barry, and Pen World!
