Hi Pen Fans!

We are proud to announce that the 2013 Stealth Beaumont is ready to launch! 

This is a Limited Edition Pen, 100 pieces.  Cartridge/Converter filler.

The nib, centerband, and clip are plated in dark ruthenium for a pretty nice "stealthy" look!

Steel nibs only available in XF, F, M or B.

This pen will not be sold direct through Edison.  Since this is a Production Line Pen, it is being sold through our retailers.

Price is $159.

This pen can be bought at the following retailers….

 US Retailers
Anderson Pens
Goldspot Luxury Gifts
Goulet Pen Company
ISellPens
Richard Binder

 International Retailers

Hi Pen Fans!

For those of you who are participaing in the 2013 LE Morgan, we have commenced manufacturing!

The acrylic is here, so we are working on them.  The ebonite should be here soon, and then we’ll get to work on them.

If you would like to check out progress, please take a look at this thread at the FPN, or this photo gallery.  Both the thread, and the gallery will be updated as we progress.

On a side note, it’s time to give a sneak peek of a new Stealth Pen!

See photo below.  We’ll make an official announcement next week when this pen is ready to ship!

Stay Tuned!

Hi Pen Fans!

Just a quick reminder that the buying period for the 2013 Limited Edition Morgan will end Sunday night.

We only do these direct group buys once a year, so if you are on the fence, this is your last chance until Spring 2014.

The ordering page is here.

Once we get a final number, we’ll begin construction on these pens next week, so stay tuned!

Everyone have a great weekend!

 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!

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 animation and video below for all details.

Please visit the Beaumont Pneumatic Filler Main Page for all specifications and pricing.

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.

Hi Pen Fans!

First and foremost, I hope that everyone has a Happy Holiday! 

We are wrapping up everything Edison related today, and then we are going to enjoy some time off with family until the New Year!  I will be taking care of emails, but of course, I probably won’t be as fast with emails as normal during the Holidays.

The LE Encores are Finished!  I will post some photos below, or you can see the entire gallery here.

These pens are going to be on their way to the Goulets right after Christmas, and then the Goulets will be shipping to each owner between Christmas and New Years.  So barring something unforeseen, all of the pens should be in the owner’s hands right before or right after the New Year!

There is a new pen that is ready to be announced!  This will be a brand new filling system.  The filling system is very unique.  No other pen company in the world is currently using a filling system like this.  And actually, no major pen company has used anything like this since the 1960’s, if my pen history is correct.

Enough hints!  I’ll be ready to officially announce this pen the week of January 7th, so keep your ear to the ground around then!

Again – everyone have a great Holiday Season!

Hi Pen Fans.

Please watch the video below for all details regarding the Spencer Limited Edition Pen.

Below is Greg Minuskin’s statement regarding the 14k Full Flex nibs….
Some of you have ordered the special 14k nib in either the green or red hard rubber swirl pen, with the modification of the nib to extra fine and flex. The nibs have been ordered and will arrive shortly. During the testing and prototype phase with the few 14k nibs we had, there has been discovered that during the modification of the nib the feed cannot keep up with the extreme demands some folks have placed on the nib, and the flexed nib puts on feed, resulting in some issues with ink delivery, especially with ink that is recommended with any modern pen that is more fluid, and less thick, resulting in our control group pushing too hard on the nib, bending the nibs and mis-aligning the feed in the processes, requiring both nib and tine repair.

Below is the letter that went out to all customers involved….
This is a message going out to Edison/Minuskin clients that are participating in the Platt Rogers Spencer Limited Edition Pen.

Greg and I have come to an even more difficult decision regarding this pen outside of not offering the 14k full flex nib, but again….we feel that this is the right thing to do.

Today we are getting feedback of rich disappointment regarding the Spencer Pen no longer having a 14k Full Flex option.  After all, how can a pen that is named after Spencer not have the ability to write like a Spencerian nib would?  We have heard this complaint, and we are taking it seriously.

We are regrettably canceling the entire project.  Trust us, this was a very, very difficult decision for us to come to. 

We agree with all of our clients who are not happy that we have marketed a pen to commemorate Spencer, but will not have a nib equipped to write in Spencerian script.

For those who ordered the 14k full flex nib, we are hearing major disappointment.  For those who did not order this nib, I anticipate similar disappointment upon receipt of this news of cancellation.
 
We’ll be happy to deal with each and every one of you individually to ensure satisfaction in the end.

So we feel that the best solution is to cancel the project.  This may not be a popular decision, but we feel that it’s the right decision, considering how we marketed this pen.  The fact that then in the end, we found that we cannot deliver what we promised bothers us as businessmen.  We take full responsibility for this, and want to make it right.

Therefore, All clients will receive full refunds within a week or two from Greg.  Considering the Thanksgiving Holiday perhaps slowing down mail (and also Greg’s large bookkeeping task involved), please allow leeway on a timely delivery, but trust us, each of you will receive your funds in full.

In addition, as a way of showing our regret for this project being cancelled, Edison will be offering a $50 credit towards any pen ordered within the Signature Line to all clients involved in this project.  We at Edison have a complete spreadsheet with all of your names and emails.  We will honor a $50 credit at any time that you would like to take advantage of this.   We are interested in making a bad situation a good one for all customers involved.

We would like to stress our sincere concern for how we treat our customers.  We recognize that good customer service is critical to the success of a business.  All businesses make mistakes.  We would like to make sure that all customers involved in this mistake feel that they have been treated fairly in the end.

If anyone involved in the project feels unsatisfied in this decision and how we are choosing to handle the situation, I would welcome the opportunity to speak live.  My number at Edison is 567.401.2043.

Again, we offer our deepest regrets.  We marketed a project that we later found out could not be delivered as marketed.  We would like to recognize and take responsibility for this mistake as soon as possible, and make sure that everyone feels that they have been treated correctly as a result.

Sincerely,

Brian Gray  www.edisonpen.com
Greg Minuskin  www.gregminuskin.com

If anyone has any questions or concerns, please reach out.  We want to ensure that every client involved with this project is satisfied in the end.
