Hi Pen Fans!

The 2014 LE Glenmonts are moving along nicely.  See recent pics below, or the entire gallery of progress is here.

Just about all of the Pearlized Wine Pens are off the lathe, sanded and polished.

All of the Cumberland Pens are off the lathe, but not sanded and polished yet. That’s what we are working on now.

Then clip attachment, final assembly, final touchups, and nib work.

Right now, I’ll give a very rough estimated shipping date of after the Ohio Pen Show.  So probably before Thanksgiving.  But please don’t hold me to that, as unexpected things can happen.  In any case, I’ll keep the updates timely!

Thanks!

Hi Pen Fans!

The 2014 LE Glenmonts are moving along nicely!

We have almost all of the Wine pens off of the lathe, and are currently sanding and polishing.

The Cumberland pens are still on the lathe.  However, some are off and have moved along to sanding and polishing!

Pics with recent progress as well as a slideshow with all progress is below.

Stay tuned!

Hi Pen Fans!

The purchasing period for the 2014 LE Glenmont ended last Friday.

I’m still working to get a totally accurate count, but it looks like we are at about 170 pens.  I’m going to get a final number before we begin manufacturing, but is looks like roundabout 110 Cumberland Ebonite pens, and 60 Pearlized Wine Pens. 

It also looks like we will begin manufacturing next week.  We have enough of the Pearlized Wine for the whole project, and enough of the Cumberland Ebonite to get started.  More of the ebonite is coming.  I’ll attach a pic of the raw materials below.  

The Pearlized Wine is on the right, and the Cumberland Ebonite is on the left.  Fear not!  I realize that the ebonite looks really strange, or even green.  Ebonite in it’s raw form always looks nasty!  It’s not until you cut into the nasty rod that the beautiful grain and color begin to show.

So stay tuned for updates!  Since this is a pretty large order, I’m glad that I didn’t promise an early timeline!  In any case, if you ordered the pen, we’ll keep all manufacturing updates here on this blog, so you can watch the process of your pens being "born"!  Stay tuned!

Lastly, I will keep global updates with galleries here, but if you on Twitter, I’ll probably be tweeting more random and frequent progress photos there.  You can follow as on Twitter at @edisonpenco.

Hi Pen Fans!

The Edison Nouveau Autumn Special Edition Pen is here!

Here is the blog post announcing this pen.  There’s plenty of content there that I will not duplicate within this blog post, so be sure to follow the link above to check out the pen, along with a nice video announcing this pen.

Remember the way that these Seasonal Special Editions work is that we will make as many pens as will sell for that given season, and once the season is over, they will be gone!

Also, to commemorate the Goulet’s 1,000th blog post, they are giving away one of these Autumn pens!  Check out this blog post to see how you can qualify to win one of these pens!

As a side note, the buying period for the 2014 LE Glenmont has concluded!  We will be putting up some blog posts soon, and should begin manufacting of these pens next week!  Stay tuned!

Thanks!

Hi Pen Fans!

This is just a quick reminder that the purchasing period for the 2014 LE Group Buy Glenmont will be ending this week at 11:59pm Friday, Eastern Time.  After this, no more orders will be accepted!

If you are interested, here is the page announcing the Limited Editon Pen.

Here is the purchasing page.

As a side note to our Canadian customers….I made a mistake on our shipping calculator to Canada!  If you add the Limited Edition pen to your cart right now, you’ll see that shipping is being calculated at $38.  This should be $28.  Only our Canadian customers are effected by this.  For any Canadian customer placing an order, go ahead with your order, and rest assured that we will refund the difference to you.  If you have already ordered a pen shipped to Canada, you should have already received your refund.  If not, make sure to let us know.  We are double checking all the transactions now.

Thank!
