FTFY... you mean this is NOT the Jinhao buy????
Pssst... I can get you a sweet deal on Jinhao's... Trade you 10 of them for that Sailor with the stub nib... And I'll throw in some Hero 616's
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.... No
Speaking of B&B limited edition pens, Brian Gray was on the Goulets' "Write Time at 9" broadcast yesterday. The topic of our current LE pen came up and Brian mentioned that another B&B pen is having some preliminary work done on it for release at some indeterminate time in the future (though he said 'not too soon.') Ow, my wallet.
Lets hope for a bulb filler.

Lets get though this one first eh? sheesh!
Payment for 0023 is complete!!
Brian did mention yesterday that he will be making pens with piston filling mechanisms, likely before the year is out. However, he also mentioned that the mechanisms are expensive.
Thanks to Brian and all involved for making this possible 
Invoice paid, Thanks to Jim and BrianW.

If you mean have they all been sent? Then yes!
If you mean how many have paid? We have a few outstanding yet.
Time to get out the Pitchforks and Torches?
Remember--as I understand it, someone correct me if I am wrong--this pen can be "eye-droppered," which I like better than cartridge converters and are fun, at least for me, to set up and use! I do not think there is gong to be any problem with an eye-dropped Edison pen leaking.
I, too, think bulb would be very cool. But bulb=expensive! However,I do understand the "draw," so to speak, of a bulb filler!
I, personally, would give a priority to having an italic or stub nib option over having a bulb filler, as an option or as the "base" pen.
Right now I am just ecstatic to be getting an ebonite Edison pen for $185!
My understanding is that it can be converted to an eye dropper also. I'm not a fan of cartridge or converter pens, my preference is for more ink capacity.
When you say that their isn't going to be any problem with the pen leaking if converted to an eye dropper do you mean leaking from the threads or leaking from the nib when the ink level gets low? If I could use this pen as an eye dropper and it won't drip or burp when the ink level gets low it will be a huge plus for me.
I like the way you think!
