Any difference when writing?

It is the same nib and feed, so none in how the ink comes out on the paper. The pens feel different in the hand, though.

In what way? I avoided this pens when I ordered the Beaumont because I was worried they would be to small for long writing sessions.

[tiffanyhenschel]

I don't have a Beaumont, but I believe the regular Pearl is larger. If you enjoy your Beaumont, you should enjoy the Pearl as far as size goes. Writing with the DE Pearl unposted is like posting the other pens. It is extra long because of the extra cap. It's not uncomfortable, just different.

[Crazyorange]

Thanks. That's very helpful.

Here is another comparison now that work is finished. I believe the Encore an Beaumont are similar in size, so I included shots of my Encore posted and unposted as well as a comparison directly with the Pearl. Though they are similar lengths, I prefer the Encore posted because it's lighter.

Does the pearl have a bigger sized nib?

Does the pearl have a bigger sized nib?

Yes. The Pearl is a #6 size while the Encore is a #5. I believe your Beaumont is a #6, although someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

[Crazyorange]

It's so helpful to see side by side comparisons. Yes Beaumont is size 6. Well I guess the pearl will be the next purchase. Thanks

Comparison photos? This is fun. Don't have all of my Edison pens on hand but here is a comparison of the Beaumont, Menlo, DE Pearl, and Pearl.

trhall, you don't happen to like blue do you?

[trhall]

:-) I do like blue but believe it or not that isn't why I have so many Edison's of the same material...

My favorite colors for pens are black. But I also have a purple web celluloid, a Sheaffer Tiger Eye, and dark tortoise celluloid Edison pens.

Here are a few of mine. I've posted these photos in other threads, so some of you may have seen them already.

Where did you get the red blue white ebonite from? Wow! That's a show stopper. Can you post a full pic of that Huron?

[kallenpj]

Pic of the Morgan unposted please.

I ordered it directly from Brian/edisonpen.com. This ebonite varies quite a bit from pen to pen and can range from almost all white to almost all red to almost all blue and it sometimes turns out more patchy than swirly; Brian actually warned me about choosing this material but I took the risk and the pen turned out perfectly with lots of swirls and relatively even color distribution. I was lucky. I'm biased, of course, but if you search this material in his SmugMug gallery, I think my pen is the best looking.

Pic of the Morgan unposted please.

Here's a (kind of blurry, sorry) photo of the Morgan uncapped. Hope that helps.

[tiffanyhenschel]

Stunning pens, reprieve and trhall. Absolutely gorgeous, all of them. Reprieve, is that clipless Morgan slightly shorter than the clipped ones?

[kallenpj]

Thanks a lot. Does the grip section feel short in length?

Oh, I may have misunderstood your question. If you meant where did the ebonite rods come from, I believe they are from American Art Plastics: http://www.americanartplastics.com/h..._pricing.shtml
