This Edison Collier pen is made of Antique Marble orange and black resin with a gold-plated clip, and a JoWo #6 steel nib engraved with the Edison logo. It accepts a standard international converter (included) or short standard international cartridges.

All Edison pens are handmade in Milan, Ohio by Brian Gray. We do our best to photograph the pens to show how they will appear in person, but due to the nature of the material, expect some variation in the pattern from what you see here.

Edison Collier Fountain Pen, Antique Marble

I've had this pen for a couple years and my son used it just to try it out. He liked the scale of it. So I purchased it for him for his birthday, he loves it. He likes the feel of it. I know that it doesn't dry up if you don't use it for a few days and that it writes like a champ in medium, lays down a nice wet line. Plus the resin is very attractive. Has a little flash, but isn't a canival of colors. Thanks

1.5 mm nib on a gorgeous pen

I have several Colliers so Obviously I really like the model. But this Antique Marble is one of the most stunning ones. It is somewhat translucent in spots making it almost glow in the light. And I have a 1.5 mm nib on it. I am surprised and pleased at how smooth this nib is. I have had no hard starts or skipping at all. And it puts down a nice quantity of ink without being too wet. I put Diamine Ancient Copper ink in it. It's a very nice match. This pen is very comfortable and light. I love the thickness of it. Edison makes some of my very favorite pens. The quality is outstanding. I have never, ever had a nib from them that is not at the least, close to being a perfect writer, though I have never purchased a fine or extra fine. This is a gorgeous writer.

Exquisite Pen

This beautiful pen is a joy to use. It writes flawlessly with a touch of feedback. Meanwhile, there are times that I'll just look at the pen without even writing with it. I can't say enough good things about this pen. Likewise, you can't go wrong adding it to your collection.

FAQs about Fountain Pens

How do I fill a fountain pen with ink? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

It depends on the pen's filling mechanism, which you can find in the Technical Specs section above. 

Here's a quick definition of the most common filling mechanisms:

  • Cartridge - A small, disposable, sealed plastic reservoir that holds fountain pen ink. These come pre-filled with ink, and typically you just push to insert them into place and you'll be ready to write! Check out our quick guide here.
  • Converter - A detachable and refillable ink reservoir that allows you to use bottled ink in a cartridge-accepting pen. Typically you will install the converter into the grip section, dip the nib/feed into the ink, and twist or pull the converter knob to draw ink into the converter. Here's a video for how to fill a cartridge/converter pen using a LAMY pen as an example.
  • Eyedropper - A pen that utilizes the entire barrel as a reservoir for ink. Ink is directly filled into the barrel, allowing for a high ink capacity. Here's a video on how to do it!
  • Piston - A type of filling system that uses a retracting plunger inside a sealed tube to draw ink into a pen. They are typically either twist or push-operated. These pens cannot accept cartridges or a converter, and only fill from bottled ink.
  • Vacuum - A push-style piston that uses pressure to fill the large pen body with ink. They seal the ink chamber when closed, making it ideal for flying without risk of leaking. Check out our video on how to use a vac filler here.

Check out more info on these filling mechanisms including a video on how to fill each one on our blog.

How do I clean a fountain pen? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

It depends on the filling mechanism, but it mostly comes down to flushing it out with water, and sometimes a little bit of Pen Flush if the ink is really stuck. 

It's a bit easier to show than to tell, so we've put together a few quick videos showing you the process:

How often do I need to clean my fountain pen? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

We recommend a good cleaning every 2 weeks, and any time you change ink colors. 

Water will usually do the trick, but we recommend you use our Goulet Pen Flush if the ink has been left in the pen for a while and could have dried up, or when you’re switching ink colors.

My pen won’t write! What do I do? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

First things first... make sure you have ink in the pen! Be sure that the ink cartridge or converter is seated properly in the pen, and that you aren't out of ink.

We always recommend you give your pen a good cleaning first, using our Goulet Pen Flush, or a drop of dish soap in some water. New pens often have some machining oil residue left in the feed, so a good cleaning often does the trick first.

If that still doesn't work, try priming the feed. This consists of either dipping your pen nib and feed in ink, or forcing ink from the converter down into the feed. 

If it’s still not working after that, please reach out to us so we can help! 

What's your return policy? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

You can submit a return request within 30 days of your order date. You can read all our Return Policies here.

To initiate a return, please submit a request at the Return Portal. Our Customer Care team might reach out to you for more information.

Please note we are unable to accept a return of any Namiki or Sailor Bespoke fountain pen for any reason once it has been used with ink. Please thoroughly inspect and dry test the pen before use.
