What's Your Biggest Pen

[jslallar]

Danitrio Cum Laude Blue Marble.

then 149.

[SteveE]

Hmmm. . . I don't know which is the largest but I have:

MB 149

Delta Dolce Vita OS

Bexley 58 (multiples)

Dani Trio Cum Laude

Laban Mento (multiples)

Gate City Postal Senior

Gate City New Dunn pump filler

Pelikan M-1000

Conklin (modern) Duragraph (multiples)

Conklin (modern) Nozak (multiples)

CS Churchill

Laban Kaiser

etc., etc.

 

Does it seem that I like oversized pens? It would, except that this is only about 20% of my accumulation. (Can't call it a collection as it really has no focus. They're all users.)

[P.A.R.]

Noodler's Ahab and Bulow x530 have been the largest pens I've used. I like that the Ahab is larger than most pens but also relatively lightweight.

My very special M800

Biggest I've got is a tie between a Wallace Inkograph (late 1930s), a Parker Senior Duofold (1927) and a TWSBI Vac 700 (last week); all about 17.5cm long posted. Which is why I generally don't use 'em posted. It is, after all, not the size that counts....

[Tom Aquinas]

Omas Arte Italian Ogival; Parker Duofold Centennial;Man 100; Aurora (88 , I think).

All good writers, different in their own ways . Aurora is probably the best for all around consistency. :meow:

[krz]

My largest modern pen would be the Noodler Neponset via the artist prize contest. It's a doozie.

 

I have several large vintage pens, the two I use the most are a Sheaffer Senior flat-top and a Wardrite flat-top.

 

I love using the larger pens but I don't like to carry them with me.

Mikado

 

Then 149 (2x), M10xx (4x) , Delta DV-OS (2x), Omas 360 Magnum, Cum Laude, Mento, and several Indian EDs.

Sheaffer Balance II.

Laban Kaiser is my largest, followed by the Jinhao 159 -which is the widest!

My biggest pen is my TWSBI Vac 700, and in second my Eclipse flat-top.

Edit: I had totally forgotten abouot my Schneider Voice, it's even longer than the Vac when capped.

I don't like really chunky, heavy pens, so I'll make it about length. That would be my Wearever pen/pencil combo, 6 inches capped, 6⅜ posted. This is a cheapo that I got solely for practice in replacing a sac. It has confounded me by having a very smooth nib, and being a pleasure to write with. The mechanical pencil tip on one end makes it impractical to carry in a shirt pocket, but it may have earned a spot in the at home rotation.

 

My TWSBI ROC 100 is even longer posted, 6¾ inches, but it's the only one of my pens that I've decided to use un-posted. That makes it strictly an at home pen as well.

Had difficulty re-sizing photos, but these are my largest pens ......

 

 

 

Gissi Medieval

 

 

 

Silver Snake

 

 

 

Silver Dragon

[Truman]

The Pelikan M-1000. I also have several MB 149's but they just feel great in my hand so I never think of them as being "large" - more like "just right".

[Mr5x5]

Ahab, though I would like something with a little fatter section that isn't an eyedropper and at about the same price.
