Since many asked about the size of the Edison Pearlette I took a snapshot of it together with some other pens – mostly vintage pens. It is clear that the contemporary idea of how small a “small” pen is differs quite a lot to earlier views. As you can see the Pearlette is substantially larger than the flagship Pelikan 100N, and roughly the same size as a standard Esterbrook, a Pelikan M200, a Montblanc 342 and a Parker Sonnet and just a tad smaller than a Parker 51, a standard Snorkel and a Lamy 27.
