edison pearlette – fan pics of my little hard rubber tiger

This little Edison Pearlette was bought on pure impulse a few days ago and it was the mottled black/sand hard rubber and the special pattern that caught me. The colours – black and a sandy beige – and the pattern make me think of a tiger puppy. The specialty of this pattern and finish immediately set off an urge to try to capture and share the original feel of my little hard rubber tiger and here are a few photos that make it some justice. It is way to early to deliver a review – this is only some fan pics –  but I already like this pen – the fine steel nib on it is very pleasant to write with, so I think the Tiger will be one of my good every day companions.
