Yes, Brian made Keith a custom Pearl with a vacumatic filler while we were there. I did not purchase anything as I am currently broke as a joke

OK.. being the Menlo is my dream pen I got over excited.
The photos are fantastic and great to look through and see some of the behind the scenes action. Seeing pen like that made from scratch had to be such a great experience. AND Brian really is such a gentleman who loves what he does. It was great to see him openly sharing his passion with everyone.
Thank you very much for documenting the visit and sharing with us.

Re: Edison Pen Company Visit
Great photos, thanks for sharing with us. I love my two Edisons, would love a Menlo, just a tad too much $, particularly when our customs put the 20% VAT on top and the excessive delivery charge!
Re: Edison Pen Company Visit
Wow! Thanks for sharing!
I'm envious of that visit!!

Sell Brian some of those fanTAStic photos.Yes, Brian made Keith a custom Pearl with a vacumatic filler while we were there. I did not purchase anything as I am currently broke as a joke
These shots make me glad my blog license got revoked before I got to write up my visit to Bexley a couple months ago...

It was a fantastic day, I am still skipping while I go about my daily business... Brian is one of the nicest people that I have ever met and was a MORE than gratious host. After seeing the product and processes; talking to Brian and feeling the passion and care in every operation, not just every pen... I understand why Edison is a beloved brand that deserves the respect and reverence I hear. Super day, super guy, super pens.
