Filling Mechanism: Cartridge/Converter

The Edison Pen Co. started the same year that we did, and it is strange to see their pens come around again on the secondhand stage. They can't be that old! Nevertheless, here is a very handsome Edison Pen Co Huron Grande in a stunning autumnal color they call Sonoran Sunset. That little golden ball on the cap is a "roll stopper." Ours comes with a two-tone steel nib that is 1.1mm wide. You'll find it is a generally smooth nib with some line variation. Minimal wear on the cap and barrel. Includes a standard international converter. It is a huge pen measuring 16.5cm capped.

Life's pretty tough for a pen named "Ink." Nevertheless, The Karas Kustoms Ink fountain pen is a pretty tough pen. The cap and barrel are made out of metal, and we read that the nibs are made of titanium. We aren't very familiar with these pens, so please feel free to correct us about the titanium. Aside from just a little light wear on the white clip and section, the rest of the pen looks fantastic. The blue-and-red mottled design is very modern while also harkening back to the 1920s. You will write as close to buttery smooth as an extra-fine steel nib will allow. Very impressive. Standard international converter is included. 13.7cm capped.
