Hi Pen Fans!

We at Edison are proud to introduce our third Limited Edition collaboration pen with the Goulet Pen Company.

This time we have taken the Encore, and created something special around it.

What makes this pen most special is the material used.  This is Flecked Tortoise Acrylic.  This is a material that I’ve wanted to use in a Production Pen or Limited Edition setting for a real long time, but there’s always been some obstacles to using it outside of the Signature Line until now.

First, it’s rather expensive.  This is an Italian-made resin that comes to me at a much higher cost.  I couldn’t possibly do this as a Production Line pen without raising price.

Next, my supplier of this material has never had enough inventory to allow me to get quantities where I could create more than about 10 pens at a time.  I must have caught them at a good time, as I’ve been lucky enough to secure enough rods for a good sized Limited Edition.

So I’m very happy to be able to offer a really special material that normally is only used in Signature Line pens (due to cost and availability) in a more affordable version!  I honestly don’t want to sound like I’m trying to overly "sell" this material, but it’s one of my personal favorites!  The pen in the photos has been my personal user at my desk since we first prototyped the Encore almost a year ago.  I’m trusting the Goulet’s to take good care of this one, and get it back to me very soon!  Honestly, if there were ever a chance to get a material that is usually too costly and hard to acquire at a Production price, this is the time! 

Also worthy of note is that this is the only Production version of the Encore with gold trim on the clip, centerband, and medallion.

This pen will be pre-ordered within a buying period that is scheduled to end Friday, November 30.  Granted that the materials arrive from overseas in a timely fashion, we are hoping to have the pen ready for shipping late December, perhaps early January.  Timely manufacturing updates will occur as we progress, so there will be no surprises on the shipping date.

Price is $185 with a steel nib.

More photos, all details, and buying information can be found here on the…
Goulet Encore LE Page.

Thanks!

Hi Pen Fans!

Well, the Edison Nouveau Encore is ready!

This is a pen that marks a couple of new items for the Edison Pen Company. 

First is the use of centerbands on a production pen.  Next is a medallion that is inset into the finial.  Last is the use of #5 engraved nibs.

This the smallest pen that we have manufactured so far….smaller than the Mina.  All specifications can be found on the Goulet site.

This pen is available exclusively through the Goulet Pen Company.  Price is $185.

Let me know if anyone has any questions!

Hi Pen Fans!

Well, things have been crazy here at the Edison Pen Company lately.

We currently have three projects going on in addition to our usual Signature Line and Production Line. 

All three of these projects will be coming together around the same time!  If you wish, you can call it The Perfect Storm of Pen Perfection!  The three projects that will be coming together in the next couple of weeks are….

1.  The Mina Urushi Project is just about ready!  The pens are in transit to me as we speak.  I am hoping that they are here tomorrow.  Granted that they are, I’ll get final photos taken, and we’ll officially launch the pen.  I’m really looking forward to this one!  The technique has blown me away.  Even I have not yet seen the final product!  So as soon as we have these pens ready to go, we’ll announce it here on the website.  Barring something unforeseen, they will be ready to go this week.

2.  The Grays and Goulets will have another joint project that will launch in the next week or so.  This will be the next installment of the Edison Nouveau line.  There is not a lot that I can say about this project, except that I’m super-excited about it, and that I’m also super-proud of it.  The Goulet’s will have some sneak-peek-pics happening very soon, so be sure to check out Gouletpens.com or their blog at Inknouveau.com.

3.  The Pearl Group Buy is going to be ready to ship sooner than later.  This project has been a fun one, for sure.  The pens are still under construction, but we will have them ready to go sooner than promised!

Lastly, the Edison Pen Company now has a page on Pinterest.  You can see it here. 

Personally, I feel that Pinterest is where things are going with Social Media.  I’ve been active with Pinterest for the last 3-4 weeks, and I like it a lot.

If you would like to follow The Edison Pen Company on Pinterest, click here.  My Pinterest boards are not just promotional.  I have pinned my personal favorite pens and pen accessories.  I’m sure that my boards will expand to a lot more pen-related items.

I do have a personal page on Pinterest set up that has mostly to do with photography.  If you have interest in my photography and would like to follow it on Pinterest, click here.

I covered a lot…if anyone has any questions, don’t hesitate!

Hi Pen Fans!

There is a new pen to introduce!

The Del Coronado is the second overlay pen from the Edison Pen Company.  It is a collaboration with Dan Furlano, a very talented penmaker.  Dan is also a longtime close friend of mine.  Click here to see his website and work.

Highlights….

1.  It’s very difficult to photograph all the features of an overlay pen, so be sure to watch the HD portion of the video, if nothing else.  Especially the threaded posting of the cap!

2.  You can see all specifications and pricing information here.

3.  We have the pen in black for now, but other colors are coming and, of course, custom colors are possible.

4.  In order to keep the pricing reasonable, we used plated precious metal (gold and rhodium), rather than solid precious metal.  If you would like to inquire about a version made in solid gold or solid sterling, just email me.

Thanks!
