The Edison Beaumont is Goldspot’s 2012 Pen of the Year!

Hi Pen Fans!

I’m proud to announce that the Edison Beaumont has been named Goldspot Luxury Gifts Pen of the Year, 2012!

Some of you may be confused by this, as Goldspot announced this honor to another pen earlier this week.

Well, it turns out that Goldspot uncovered irrefutable evidence showing that the vote was hacked in the last 2-3 hours.  The Beaumont was ahead by a minimum of 6% the entire voting period, and then in the last couple hours, another pen suddenly surged ahead to win by 4%.

Well, it turns out that the vote was hacked.  If you’d like to read Goldspot’s statement, it is here.

I had no idea that the pen community could be so scandalous! 

Regardless, we’d like to thank everyone who voted (legitimately!)

So in the last two years, the Huron was nominated for a Pen World Reader’s Choice Award, the Collier won Goldspot’s Pen of the Year 2011, and then the Beaumont just won Goldspot’s Pen of the year 2012!  That’s two years running for Edison in the Goldspot polls!

Again, thanks to everyone for voting.  Next week when we take a break, we’ll have one more item to be thankful for!

Back From Vacation! Updates….

Hi Pen Fans!

I’m back from my vacation.  We had a lot of fun at Hocking Hills.  We’ll definitely have to go back soon.  If you are interested in my photography, you can see my shots here.

A quick update….

The ebonite for the Platt Rogers Spencer Limited Edition Pen has been ordered.  It is coming from Germany, and sometimes there can be customs delays, so I don’t want to try and give an accurate estimate on when these pens will be done. 

I can say that barring something unforeseen, the pens can be done prior to the Holidays (most likely sooner).  As we get closer to the ebonite’s arrival, and as we start manufacturing, we’ll give accurate timelines and updates.  So if you have one of the Spencer Pens ordered, you can expect to see updates here on my blog.

I have tons of emails to plow through, and I’ll get started on them tomorrow.  So If you are expecting an email response from me, you’ll get it then.

Relaxing today, and then back to work tomorrow!

A Nice Vacation!

Hi Pen Fans!

I’m leaving tomorrow for a nice vacation with my Dad and brother.

Some of you might know that I’m an avid photographer.  We’re heading to Hocking Hills, so with the leaves changing, I should be returning with some really nice shots.

If we have WiFi, I’ll try to take a look at emails, but honestly, I’ll probably try to stay away from Edison emails until I return next weekend.

Thanks!
