I’m not sure of the brand of the jumbo pen, but from my limited research… I’m pretty sure it’s from Japan.
The tiny pen is a celluloid Peter Pan eyedropper, the smallest they made (and with an amazing, legitimate wet noodle nib to boot).

Nice comparison! Where did you get the jumbo pen?
Thanks! It popped up on Etsy one day and I just couldn’t NOT buy it. 😉
Haha! So is it comforatble to write with?
It actually is! That’s what I find so odd about it. I’ve run across stories saying that they were made for elderly people in Japan so they would have an easier time writing, but I can’t find any hard proof.
It originally came with a #5 gold nib but it was too cracked and warped to salvage. I’m going to see if the Japanese #5 of years ago is similar enough to the #6 of today to stick a Goulet stub in there. 🙂
