    I just came here before watching your video for the Kaweco Classic Sport pen, and, before watching, I thought to myself “I wonder if the Kaweco Sport keeps up with this pen”. When you showed us the pen at 2:24, my chin dropped to the ground and stayed there for a while. Now, I have no words.

    I'm sorry....usually I wait until the end of the video before commenting, but I can't stop laughing. It's....seriously tiny! That is amazing, really. They gave it a clip and everything. And I can just imagine Azizah's reaction to how cute it is hahahaha

    I love seeing stuff like this, very fascinating! And judging by the price, that's one hell of a collectible...
    (If anyone's wondering, it's currently priced at $3500)

    All kidding aside about size matters, this is an awesome piece of historical memorabilia. So good of the owner to let you show it to us.

    This is absolutely ridiculous and a complete riot. What a great opportunity to be able to review it! I am pleased to see the degree of seriousness you granted to this pen in your review. Great job, as always!

    Bravo on keeping a straight face throughout and for not springing the nib with your super-sonic strength of a thousand mortals.

    I've seen some small 8 cm ballpoint pen before. They are actually quite popular here in Sweden amongst those who spend their time betting on horses. Anyway, I would never have thought it was possible for there to be a fountain pen in this size. O_o

    @kc9aop 7 років тому +1

    I enjoyed you enjoying this really fun and unique pen. I anticipated that a laboratory grade micrometer would appear and you would tell us what size the nib is! I'm thinking a #.015 is about right.

    lol 8 minutes and 31 seconds before the first "that's what she said" I am impressed

      “I am impressed” - That was _not_ what she said.

    Thank you, slightly younger Stephen with your old musical theme. Could be used with the bizarre Traveller's collectible tiny notebook set.

    Amazing! I never thought I'd see a review of this pen. It somehow reminds me of the Sheaffer No-Nonsense, at least in appearance.

  • @sillypinkmate
    @sillypinkmate 4 роки тому +1

    If anyone is about to pull a great stunt, is by using this pen for an hour straight for making a long and detailed presentation draft. Probably a very good tool and exercise to increase your hand's endurance for small grips, if you don't cramp your hand that is, hehe.

    I actually laughed out loud when you were about to post it - or not, as the case may be. You should see it next to the contemporary Waterman's 20. It is extremely cute indeed. And super rare. I just realized that Gary Lehrer sent it to you. He's a legend, and a great guy. He literally wrote the book about Waterman's, and he lives one town away from the city where Waterman's hard rubber parts were made. I grew up two towns away. I even got to spend a lovely afternoon with him at his house last summer when I bought a Waterman's 552 1/2 LEC with a fine superflex nib from about 1925 from him, and we've talked at the Commonwealth Pen Show in Boston the past few years. I love how connected we all are. And what an honor for you to have had the opportunity to enjoy it, and what a treat for us to see it. Thank you.

    I thoroughly enjoyed this video! Amazing pen both historically and mechanically! And then the comparisons you were doing were hysterical. Also, I just can't help and think what prof. Danglebury thinks of this pen!

    One of these with a damaged nib and scratches on it sold for around USD 2,000 on Ebay. Well...

    @randy-9842 7 років тому +3

    Ah, Stephen - what an incredible pen and review! It is smaller than the toothpicks I use! I truly wish I could afford such a precious little thing, but I'd lose it almost immediately. Keep it away from your cats! THANK YOU for the review and THANK YOU for the folks who very generously lent it to you.
    Enjoyed the Orthodox Chant music too. I've had withdrawals. :D

  • @feanaaro8652
    @feanaaro8652 7 років тому

    I've got the normal-size version of this! (still a small pen, as most vintage ones are)

    • @singlesideman
      @singlesideman 5 років тому

      If you're talking about the 52, that is not a small pen. It is a fairly standard sized fountain pen, and thicker than 99% of ballpoints. Many, but not even most fountain pens made today are oversized, and the notion that most vintage fountain pens are smaller is simply untrue. There were ringtops made for women (ladies, in the parlance of the time), vest pens, standard sized pens, and oversized pens, like the Waterman's 55 (of which I have three - they're the perfect fountain pen, to my way of thinking), the 56, which is really big (about the size of the Pelikan M1000), the 58, which is enormous, and the 20, which is comically huge - even bigger than the Emperor. These pens were all made concurrently, and to see the doll pen next to the 20 is absolutely hilarious.

    Should have used something milder than a Pelikan Royal Blue on a rare vintage pen, since it known to be highly acidic.
