I love this! I have a collection of tiny vintage pens. The smallest one I have is a Peterpan it is so small I can’t find a sac for it so I actually use it as a dip pen. It has a pleasant flex to it. I also have the a green version of the blue whal it unfortunately has a steel nib. What a fun collection you have thanks for sharing all of your knowledge!
In my collection of German beginner pens is my smallest, the Schneider Base Kid. Out of the box it isn't all that tiny, but it does come with a second, alternative barrel, which is VERY short. As do many beginner pens, it has a lump on the end of the barrel, precluding even the thought of posting. I like it.
I totally understand the attraction to these pens. The only pen I got like that is a Wearever Gold Bullet from the late 50`s. It´s about 11,3 cm or so. (so not very mini)Simple metal pen with a steel nib but cool design and very sturdy. Mine looks like it´s been attacked by a pitbull. But thats also what I like about it.It withstood the abuse and time and is a nice writer.
Sometimes a beaten up pen can be even more charming than a pristine one! It’s always nice to see vintage pens that have lived a long life being used again.
Thanks for the video (you are as charming as the pens)! I do love small pens. I'm totally crushing on the first three you showed. Not that I'd ever buy any of them (I'd be afraid to use them, lose them, destroy them). I have a copper Lilliput. I carry it in my hip pocket, and use it a lot, so the patina on it is gorgeous by now. It's indestructible, and I got a clip for it. One of these days, I'll get an Esterbrook CH, which is not exactly tiny, but it's pretty small, the pastel colors are very nice, and I love those Renew-Point nibs. May I request a video about Esterbrook pens? I remember chatting about them at the Lamy store...
Really enjoyed seeing so many pens in one video. What a nice, tiny collection you have! It brings back some sadness for me as I accidentally destroyed a 1950 Conway Stewart Dinkie 550 in Red Marble with an amazing 14K broad stub. It had some ink starvation issues and I couldn't pinpoint the problem as the lever and sack were working. Eventually, the whole thing crumbled in my hands after too much dismantling and messing with :(
Oh I’m sorry to hear about your Conway Stewart… maybe try a franken-pen experiment to get that nib in a new pen! My favorite example of that is the Kaweco sport + sheaffer feather touch nib from a few videos ago. It can give new life to otherwise loose nibs!
The little blue Eversharp is very pretty. Is it celluloid? I have a Montegrappa Micra that I really enjoy. The cap screws onto the back to make it a good length and the gold nib writes great.
I’m really enjoying your innovative pen reviews featuring knowledge and erudition, not mere superlatives aimed at pen peddlers sending you their latest and greatest to review. I laughed out loud three times during this particular review when the World’s Fair pen was inking you rather than you it.

imagining a sewer grate beneath which there are thousands upon thousands of lost tiny pens
that’s actually where I live when I’m not recording vids
Hahaha brilliant, both of you 😂
Thumb up for 'they're easy to loose'.. I feel that

Interesting! I’ve never heard of a pen coming with a second barrel, that’s pretty cool!
Great film. Loved Paris when I lived there. Le BHV on rue de Rivoli in the Marais is fab. Great pen and stationery department.
BHV is so great! I got my Midori notebook fix there recently.

Yet those are all still bigger than my micro pen
Hi, Could you make a vintage vs new video of the Parker Duofold please?
I love your videos!!!
Ooh that would be so fun!!! I’ll see if I can find one of each…
Thank you!

It’s celluloid, yes!
Ooh, that’s one of my favorite Montegrappa models, I’ve always wanted one of my own. That and the Gnomo are very fun pocket pens
