We’re back from LA and quite exhausted! We’ll take today and probably tomorrow off, but I will do my best to catch up on some emails today.
In the meantime, I will share some of my photos from the show. Unfortuntately, we were packed so full of pens, that we didn’t have any room in our luggage for my good camera! So here’s some iPhone photos….and also not very many! The LA Show was so busy this year that I really didn’t have much time to get my usual number or photos.
(If you can’t see the slideshow below, click here.)
We will be leaving for the LA Pen Show soon. If I’m slow with emails this weekend, you’ll know why.
Below is a video showing all of the pens that we’ll be bringing with us.
The response to our Pneumatic Filling Beaumont has been amazing in the last couple of months. We’ve been real busy making those pens in preparation for this show. Currently, we have almost 80 Pneumatic Beaumont pens ready to sell!
If you can’t make the LA Pen Show, you can see the gallery of all Current Inventory here. Any of these pens are availalbe whether or not you are attending the show.
They’ve been around a relatively short time period, but in that time period, they have become (in my opinion) the best Fountain Pen Blog out there. Awesome Reviews, Inkcyclopedia, Podcasts, Fountain Pen TV, and Pen Show Coverage only scratches the surface of the features and content over there.
If you don’t already, I recommend adding them to your blog reader, iTunes podcasts, or simply bookmark them (and I usually don’t go out of my way to promote any pen blogs).
So when the "Geeks" asked me to donate a pen for their February Giveaway, I was more than happy to oblige!
Please visit this link to check out all the details…..but essentially, they will have a write-in giveaway that has a deadline of February 28th.
And the lucky winner will receive any Beaumont Pneumatic that is Currently Inventoried at the time of the drawing.
Our newest pen, the Beaumont Pneumatic, was a huge hit! The response to this new pen was wonderful!
Normally at pen shows, I’m able to get lots of photos, but at this particular pen show, I was able to get about half of the photos as I normally would. That’s how busy we were!
Slideshow of my photos are below. In particular, take a look at the Custom Bookbindings by Raymond Townsend! He’s a newcomer to the pen shows, and I was definitely entralled with his work!
I’m catching up on emails now and will continue to do so tomorrow, so if anyone is expecting an email from me, you’ll get by lunchtime tomorrow!
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.

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.
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.
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!
