Smaller Fountain Pens

[TaylorsMirfield.co.uk]

Morning all,
I have had a request from someone who purchased 5 Omega Fountain pens (made not kit) last week. She is really happy with the pens and now would like a smaller pen for a child.

And suggestions for a smaller fountain pen kit?

No, afraid not - but I'd be interested in finding one as well. Narrow is what I'm always searching for.

I would have thought the 'one diameter' FP was a bit smaller (narrower) that the Omega, but that's purely based on pics I've seen?

Thanks, i did think about these but i can't say i like them. Too many issues with quality from the things i have read. Correct me if i am wrong?

I can't think of anything much smaller.

Timberbits used to have a small fountain pen and one that use ink like a fountain pen but had a roller ball nib, these were called Cigar Americana.
Unfortunately he does not stock them any more, they were a dayacom hardware.

This quest could yield interesting conclusions with interest I await.Just when you think the bases are covered.

Dan,

Americana is the smallest fountain pen I know of, done a few for children for school. Its shorter than most I have done.



Not at home currently but you should be able to find the drawing for them and get an idea of tube size.

I like the flat tops or euro's but the one diameter or Axminster use 10mm tubes so could win on diameter...i have done both these and also cut the lenghts down....how small do you need to go? I work in/for a school and when the children are old enough to use a fountain pen there usualy big enough also

Are you talking about smaller in diameter of barrel or smaller in length of barrel?

Diameter Ray. Within reason the omega and Jr Gents can be shortened in the barrel.
