Official Edison Group Buy - Materials Poll

[Jimmy James]

I am so torn. The pics of that bulb filler are beautiful, but I think for me it's going to come down to the level of posting friendliness of the Pearl (I don't like the description of it as wedge-able). I will likely struggle with this through the buying period but I'd say it's 60-40% that I'm out. Whoever buys will be getting a fantastic pen and by darn it if I don't buy I'll be getting a fantastic Edison of some sort!

....Jimmy "blinked" hehehe , whassa matter Jimmy, does a wedgie bother ya?

HEY! The "2012 Pearl Wedgie" ..now that has a ring to it.... :ltcapd:

I voted for the Cobalt Fleck but i would also be interested in the Bedrock Fleck (which seems to be winning at the moment).

Boy, that cobalt blue sure is fighting hard!

Expect an announcement later today.....

How will the engraving look like? (letterfont, size, place and orientation on the pen...) there are so many unpleasant engravings out there that I'm very reluctant to commit to a pen without knowing that.

 

In fact, I prefer the pen to have none whatsoever, but if the majority will agree to that?

The engraving will be finalized tonight. Pics will be posted tomorrow.

First up is Beige/Black Swirl Ebonite. This is a material that I've only used 4-5 times, and this was 2-3 years ago, when the manufacturer was still prototyping the material. There are only a handful of Edisons that have been made from this, and only one in the last few years. No Pearls have been made from this. This takes a great shine, as you can see. Price will be $190.

 

I've just been clicking through your album:

Here's also a beige/black swirl ebonite Pearl: pic1 pic2

I really looks nice, even in a matte finish - the group buy will be in a shining finish according to your picture.

Thanks for posting this. It looks like I did make a Pearl from this material once in the past, my apologies.

 

That pen was made 3-4 years ago, was when this material was more of a prototype from the manufacturer.

 

The finish was matte, and also this pen was clipless.
