Edison Collier----A New Discovery!

[Charles Skinner]

I have a beautiful Edison Collier pen that I have had for years and that I write with often. Yesterday I noticed something for the very first time! There are tiny, tiny, tiny ----- really tiny---- really tiny letters --- "cut" into the body of the barrel! They read, as best my old eyes can determine, EDISON PEN CO, and under those words, I see the word COLLIER.

 

If you have one of the beautiful Edison pens, see if you too can see these letters. I would love to know if I am hallucinating or not!

Sure!

My wife's only pen is a collier (blue one). It's sitting on my desk and i can see the writing from where I'm sitting (with the sun hanging very low on the pen)

Edison laser engraves their company name and model name on the pens. When my club visited Edison Pens Brian explained that he purposely keeps the nomenclature simple and unobtrusive.

 

Not a Collier, but below is a picture I took on that visit. You can see a photo essay from out visit here:

I have the same on my Menlo. It's Brian's standard engraving/branding which I think is quite classy and smart. So no, you are not hallucinating!

 

I also believe he will custom engrave for a Signature order if you so desire.

I also have a Collier and it has the markings. It actually has risen to be in my top tier of pens (with a few MBs, a couple of Conids, a couple of Omas and a Nakaya). It is spectacular, mine is the Antique Marble version and I absolutely love the material and the look! The nib is also perfect!
