After reading all the posts here about the pen Erica and Edward developed, I ordered one. I absolutely love it. My hand fingers rest so nicely on the flattened areas, and I find less hand stress after a 15 minute session. I love this pen holder, and thank Edward for his patience as I bombarded him with emails awaiting the pen holder's arrival from across the big pond. It was worth the wait for customs here to inspect it. It added a week to the delivery, but oh, putting my favorite vintage Gillotts 604EF into the flange and using it for the first time was pure Nirvana! Thank you Edward, for a most beautiful and practical pen holder.
