Hello FPGeekers,
I have just placed this listing (http://www.ebay.es/itm/171215996727?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649) on the bay, for a rare vintage Filcao (or f.i.l.c.a.o., as it is written on the box lid and the bottle label), made in Italy.
The pen is perfectly new (I know because I bought it but never used it, only displayed), and would qualify as mint, only it needs a new sac for actual working service (as explained there, the original sac fosilized away and broke to pieces, therefore I have fully cleaned and carefully polished the inner tube for such replacement, just in case the new owner wishes a new sac installed).
The question is: am I right when I call it "the smallest functional pen in the world"? I just want to be completely honest with anyone who visits this listing of mine. I do know about that century-old doll-pen Waterman... but I doubt...
So please, you wise fountain pen people, is there some definitive way to leave my question solved for good? Share with us your knowledge
THANK YOU in advance, regards,
Pennipotens
