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!

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
