Is This The Smallest?

[Aislingean]

I have been rooting through my cabinets prior to my clear out and in the mahoosive todo drawer I came across this tiny bulb filler 3 25/32 inches long, 3/8ths diameter
Is this the smallest fountain pen you have seen?
Were they made for children?
Made in USA
by the makers of
EVERSHARP
Does anyone know the model ?
Should the bulb have a retaining ring as well as shellac?
Where do I search for a pocket clip and what should it look like?

Cheers
Dave

I have a couple of small metal ringtops in that neighborhood, but I'll have to measure them when I get home. They have '0' nibs.

Is it an Eversharp Bantam?

I've got a couple of really little pens (both of which are lever fillers). One is an Arnold and the other is I think a Welsharp, and they both are about 3" long capped. At another booth at the antiques mall where I bought the Welsharp, I also spotted a Peter Pan, but it was about five times the price of the Welsharp.

My little white-gold Wahl (vandalized with a Leroy Fairchild dip nib) is 3 1/8”, which is about as small as a pen can be and still be useful to write with.

Thank you I think you are correct !

I have now found posts on re-sacking a Bantam which says there should be a retaining ring.

Unfortunately I can not find any info on the size so I may have to whip the joint with thread
