Three new ones from Edison Pen Co...and some Edison updates...

[SMG]

Brian, having held one of your pens, I need to say that I am very impressed with the craftsmanship. Now seeing the Nakaya Piccolo pen that you have made, I am seriously considering placing an order for one. Very nice design, clean and well executed.

 

I have been missing my Raw Ebonite Densho for a long time, should never have sold it. This pen might fit the bill.

 

 

BUT, can you do it with a matte finish instead of the highly polished?

 

Cheers,

Sean

Brian, per your intial psot regarding the elimination of the centreband a barrel trim ring, is it possible to retro-fit one of your existing pens this way? I was thinking of the Glenmont.

 

No, I'm afraid not. Once a pen is made, there wouldn't be enough material to completely change how it is threaded. Sorry.

 

Not really a problem; I was just wondering. When do you plan to offer the Piccolo and in what material?

Sir, the "Grand Piccolo" is outstanding. I think you had better stock up on rod stock for that one top speed. I cannot express how much I wish to own one. Gorgeous!! well done.

 

Stubnut.

Thanks for the comments!

 

No problem on the matt finish.

Brian,

 

Have you given any thought/consideration to attending the Dallas Pen Show this fall? Since there is no admission charge to attend, the crowds are likely larger than if there were. Table prices, I think, are very reasonable. And there are a LOT of people in the Dallas Fort Worth area who would love to fondle and drool over your pens, and maybe even purchase a few. On second thought, maybe you should not attend -- I don't know if I could resist if I actually held one in my hand and (gasp) had opportunity to actually write with one.

Excellent designs! Looks like I will have to consider ordering a new buddy for my existing Herald

This year, I'll be in Columbus, and possibly Detroit. But that's probably it.

 

Next year, I'll try to expand to more shows.

 

Thanks.

Nice pens. How far off are you from being able to offer a piston model?

 

Pistons are difficult to find. Schmidt lists them in their catalog, but last time I checked, they didn't have any.

 

Would turning pistons from rod stock of some kind not be cost effective (cost ineffective maybe?)? Seems like it would be cool, if nothing else.

Actually, Francis (fountainbel) has done that.

That's over my head....I'm pretty sure that Francis may be one of the only penmakers around who has manufactured his own plunger and/or piston.

 

I'd be better off buying the filling mechanism, and building a pen around it.

love the Grande Piccolo. My herald may need company

 

Are you able to post it???

 

Please say yes

Yes. This is the first pen that I'm offering that will post.

 

The new Herald prototypes might...not sure yet.

Brian,

 

Mixed feelings here. My wife thanks you, and your decision might well have saved my marriage, as I am not certain I could resist the temptation if I actually got my hands on one of those beauties.

 

Perhaps next year you will make it to Dallas and I will be able to afford one (or more) of your pens.
