Your Favourite Edison


Gorpy

Recommended Posts

My first custom pen was an Edison Herald Grande, matte black acrylic with the engraved/roughed up ends.

I sold it a few years ago to fund my own pen making insanity.

 

Eventually I'll get a Menlo pump filler with matte black ebonite cap and barrel end knob, with transparent gray barrel, and matte black section. :D

I've already talked to Brian about it too. This one will get the engraved/roughed up ends as well. :P

Pearl in just about any material. Far more comfortable than any pen that size should be. Also, I've had fewer skipping/dryness problems from the Pearls that I've had. Don't know why that would be though, probably just luck.

I will eventually get one made from the Black Rose Acrylic. Just deciding between if I want it in Pearl, Glenmount, or Herald.

I have smaller hands - and I like the Pearlette. But my favorite shape is the Herald. Just a classic shape. Pulling the trigger on a Menlo real soon.

I saw those at a pen show and they were stunning!

I also have a Huron bulb filler in Lavender Ebonite and a New Mexico Club pen that is based on the Pearl. All of them have fine stubs and write great.

 

Here is a review I did on the Huron:

I would say, it's my first one : a Mina in black satin finish Ebonite.

 

I love everything about that pen: the precision engineering, simple timeless elegance of the 1920s and last but not least a perfectly tuned nib.

I have a customized Herald in red/black ebonite. Nigh on perfect. The ebonite is so light & balanced I could use it all day.

"how do I know what I think until I write it down?"

I only have one, a Hudson EF, but I'm a little besotted with it at the moment . . . :wub:

Glenmont in Grey Skies acrylic. Sadly, this pen was damaged in a car accident a few years ago, but I finally ordered a replacement in Milky Way since it looks like it replaced the Grey Skies (or is the same?), and it should be ready in a few weeks. I've owned several Edisons, but the Glenmont fits my hand the best. I'm tempted to get a Pearl in Fern ebonite since it looks like it'll fit my hand a bit better. Loved my Collier in blue/black ebonite but it was a tad too big.

My first Edison is scheduled to be turned tomorrow! Brian will be making me a Clipless Pearl in Flecked Tortoise Acrylic! It's been a long two months of waiting--very very excited!

The only one I have (until my Noveau in green flake arrives from Goulet Pens) is my copper flake Herald. It's my favorite, and has caught the eye of more than one coworker :)

Beautiful green. Oh, and gold nib. If you want to, please share a writing sample.

 

Enjoy!

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth

      There is still chemistry for processing regular chrome (positive) films like Kodak Ektachrome and Fuji Velvia, but Kodachrome was a completely different and multistep beast. 
    • Ceilidh
      Ah, but how to get it processed - that is the question. I believe that the last machine able to run K-14 (Kodachrome processing) ceased to operate some 15 or so years ago. Perhaps the film will be worth something as a curiosity in my estate sale when I die. 😺

      Take a lot of photos!   If the film has deteriorated or 'gone off' in any way, you can use that as a 'feature' to take 'arty' pictures - whether of landmarks, or people, or whatever.
