    Default FS: The Six Most Stunning Pens ever made by Edison - Look out!

    In my continuing effort to reduce the size of my collection to only twelve pens, these gorgeous Edisons are looking for new homes:





    All pens are from my personal collection. They all write well but have fallen out of rotation. It's time for them to find some lovin'.

    All prices include insured USPS Priority Mail shipping to the United States. If you're somewhere else and absolutely have to have one of these pens, we can talk, but international USPS shipping rates skyrocketed in January and are, well, embarrassing.

    Payment via PayPal either as a no-fee gift or with an additional 3% to cover PayPal fees.

    It should be noted that for pen #3, the cap threads were cut in such a way as make the "grain" line up at the seam between cap and barrel.

    Eric are you ok ? Have you sort the services of a medical professional (mmm no stubs in the list maybe you're still clinging onto the madness).

    Just gorgeous....luckily, I'm in China right now, and can't even consider buying one, so that saves me from being tortured by the temptation. Not that it isn't tempting....

    First I saw you slash the prices on the 'original 18', then this!
    So alluring, I can't look away. Seriously Eric, won't you miss them? They are so pretty. Save a few of them for yourself!

    And do I need to point out that you are selling Signature Line pieces at Production Line prices, including shipping too? That's easily $75 off the prices you paid.

    I've got no spare funds left for May... I'll buy one of the steel nibs in June if any remains, but for your sake, I hope they'll be gone by then.

    12 pens? Why, Mr. Eric, that doesn't seem like you're indulging. What's up with that.

    Good luck on the sales. Depending on how big your collection is, I guess we can expect to see a lot of sales.

    I'm not too familiar with Edison pens...still a relative newbie. Since cartridge/convertor is specified for the other 5 pens for sale, is the Beaumont, pen #6 a pneumatic filler? I'll take it if it is.

    Eric, my girlfriend informed me of your joint trickery regarding pen #3. Needless to say I am excited to finally get my hands on it when I'm back stateside. Happy birthday to me!

    Hey Steve!

    The Persimmon Swirl Beaumont is a cartridge/converter filler.

    Eric;

    Your three larger pens (now down to two) don't have clips, which I prefer. (I forgive your minor mistake in judgment selecting clipless designs.)

    However, I don't really buy the story about trying to get down to just 12 pens to ensure all will be in rotation. What are your raising cash for?
