David Nishimura Vintage Fountain Pens & Writing EquipmentWahl-Eversharp Bantam

These attractive, colorful miniature fountain pens from the '30s came in a tremendous variety of patterns. Being bulb-fillers, many of these pens have transparent or translucent barrels; most are equipped with 14K #0 nibs, though they were sold with gold-plated steel nibs as well. Facetted versions miniature Dorics were also made, as were desk pens and matching pencils. World's Fair collectors will want to keep an eye out for the specially-imprinted model made for the 1933 Chicago Century of Progress exhibition.

The picture above should give some idea of the size of these diminutive pens; they typically measure around 9.7 cm (3 13/16") long, closed.
