My dream pen! ;-) Now if it were only an eyedropper, course you would empty an entire bottle of ink in one filling. Write for a year or thereabouts.

 

What is the length posted, about 9”?

Several makers made Ultra-Gaints (more as an advetising ploy than with any real thought to being a practical user. A few that spring to mind are a Dunn, and a Moore's. However, in the late twenties(?) Snapfil literature lays claim to making both the world's largest and smallest pens.

The Namiki Emperor is the biggest pen in modern production, to the best of my knowledge. It's an eyedropper filler.

 

I have no idea as to the biggest pen in history, but I have a strong feeling it is still the Emperor.

This is the biggest I have ever seen: it is a MONTEGRAPPA fountain pen “Jumbo” size. (Seems to me the same pen of George). Dimensions: 8 7/8” in length capped – 7/8” in diameter. Iridium nib. It works with cartriges. This was a gift of "VESPA - PIAGGIO" scooter sellers. Ciao G.

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth

      There is still chemistry for processing regular chrome (positive) films like Kodak Ektachrome and Fuji Velvia, but Kodachrome was a completely different and multistep beast.

      Ah, but how to get it processed - that is the question. I believe that the last machine able to run K-14 (Kodachrome processing) ceased to operate some 15 or so years ago. Perhaps the film will be worth something as a curiosity in my estate sale when I die. 😺

      Take a lot of photos!   If the film has deteriorated or 'gone off' in any way, you can use that as a 'feature' to take 'arty' pictures - whether of landmarks, or people, or whatever.
