Today was Jim’s first day back in the barrel studio since Barbara and I returned from the Ohio Pen Show. He brought with him a fascinating pen — at least it’s fascinating to me. You may have figured out that I like retractable safeties. The pen Jim brought me is a safety, and it might look pretty ordinary.
But it’s really not very ordinary at all. It’s a Lilliputian pen, quite literally — not only is it tiny, but it’s also a VIALA LILLIPUT pen (made by France’s Gold Starry). Its nib is an 18K stub, and the overlay is solid gold as well. (There are “bugs” on both pieces.) But really, how tiny is it? Take a look at it in comparison with a Whytwarth sterling silver overlay safety…
