My Edison Family

[Sham69]

well both are steel nibs as i drew the line somewhere with the cost of ordering two signature pens haha. I really like these steel nibs anyway and like my nibs firm, the grande has a .7mm stub ground by brian and the morgan just has a fine nib

[Crazyorange]

What you think of the stub? I have the extra fine and it's a bit too fine for my liking, so I'm thinking of changing it out.

[Sham69]

haven't received the pens yet, but i am sure they will be spectacular. They were shipped yesterday so 2 weeks to get to kangaroo land

Love that Morgan's material, it's like some underwater fantasy.

I don't want to jinx it, but Priority to Australia usually doesn't take two weeks.

Tracking info shows that it just left the US, so maybe it won't be too much longer.

Have a great day!

Vert please post a pic of your pen. Dying to hear all about it.

Oh, sorry, I felt like I was hijacking Tiffany's thread so I posted over in Pens You Used Today.
The color in my pic is not as hot a pink as it actually is; the Goulet photo is more true. It is insanely pearlescent pink with white swirls. It fits perfectly in my hand and is a light, well balanced pen. The nib is my favorite 1.1 stub nib. I do not post the cap and it doesn't seem to be made to post.


Tiffany, you may have an Edison convert!

Nobody posting about Edison pens is hijacking this thread. We want to see everyone's pens!

My Premiere posts if I need it to, but it isn't as secure as some of the other models. It is balanced well enough that it's comfortable either way.

now this material would definitely sell... I don't suppose stone lends itself to turning though...

I've used De Atramentis, Platinum, Noodler's, and Iroshizuku brand inks in it and it writes smoothly with any of them. At this point, I've used it for over half a dozen letters.

Very pleased with the pen at that price point. Feel sort of triumphant that they already sold out their first batch after watching Brian Goulet seem a little apologetic about offering a pink pen in his video with his wife (!). Neener neener!

Tiffany, you may have an Edison convert!

Yes, I want one. Maybe next month...sigh.

[kallenpj]

Or the month after that... sigh...
I, like Tiffany am fairly Edison heavy. I sold off nearly a dozen pens over the last three months... in exchange I got two Edison Menlos (one pump, one ED) (yes, to pre answer, pictures to come... but I must warn you, they are iphone pictures and as such do no justice to the pens...).
Now my collection is rounded out at Two Menlos, One Beaumont CC, One Beaumont PN, A Mina on the way and a few ideas in my head for the future.

It's a slippery slope, isn't it? It only takes one edison and that's it....you are a lost soul.

And yes, post pics. Even crummy ones.

Capped in sunlight... uncapped indoors but with sun coming in the window... and the best shot of the purple web celluloid that I have ever produced... it usually looks black when I try to photograph it...

Finally broke down earlier this month and ordered an Edison Menlo with pump filler. I ended up buying a classic black ebonite GT with steel nib (ef). It showed up in this morning's post. Gorgeous. I inked it with Lamy black and have been using it most of the day. I am most pleased and regret absolutely nothing about this purchase. Kudos to Brian Gray and his associates at Edison for making this pen possible.

Beautiful pens Is the purple celluloid more of a plum or a burgundy? When I've seen pictures before, they seemed more plum, but this one has more red in it.

[tiffanyhenschel]

Cuza, thanks for posting the picture of the Premiere and the Menlo together. That shot gives a good perspective of the size. You can't beat the classic look of black ebonite.

[tiffanyhenschel]

I nearly bought the pink Premiere, but this extended Mina pushed itself forward instead.

It (as always) depends heavily on the light... And the camera. The iPhone with the black background adds some red for sure, but in that light it does have more red. I'd say that plum is a far more accurate descriptor on the whole.

Ohhhh....you're killing me.....a pilot vanishing point radan.......gorgeous! The edison isn't too shabby either. You have great taste in pens.

Thanks I have given away or sold at a loss many pens to get to this point, though. I've been ruthless in my culling of the herd in the last year and a half. I hope it never happens, but I'm finally to the point where I could be happy with any one of my pens as an "only pen."

This is a picture of my latest Edison from Brian Gray's website. Had it for about a week now. Wonderful writer and I love ebonite. Great working with Brian.
