A Cap Ring For My Edison Huron


jde

Recommended Posts

Four years ago, I reviewed my 1st Edison pen: the yellowstone Huron. It's the pen in my FPN avatar, too, btw.

 

The FPN review is here, and I as I look at that review today, I do want to apologize for deleting my Photobucket account which housed the photos for that review. (There's also photos on my blog here.)

 

My pen collection has been through huge shifts over these last 4 years, yet the Huron has survived all those changes, and in fact, instigated many of them. It's still my favorite daily writing pen.

 

Generally, I prefer my daily writing pens to be clipless. Dunno. Just do. Decided, though, that my Huron needed a little something extra for the cap. Brian came up with a "cap ring" for it! My photos do not capture the ring as well as Brian's so with his permission, I'm using his. I have more details and photos on my blog, if that's okay to post.

 

Honestly, this was just the little "lift" I wanted for my Huron!

 

Sharing my excitement,

Julie

Just saw this on your blog this morning. Lovely addition! With this ring, you and your Huron can now be wedded for life. XD

Julie, it looks great! It feels/looks very much like a Hakase to me. Congratulations :)

Currently using:Too many pens inked to list, I must cut back! :) I can guarantee there are flighters, urushi, and/or Sheaffer Vac-fillers in the mix!!!

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
