What tool would you use to find the volume of an expo marker?

The best way to find a volume of anything(that doesn't dissolve or get damage by water) is by simply filling a graduated cylinder with water(amount doesnt matter)then dipping the object in water and calculating the difference. (FOR EXAMPLE: I can fill a graduated cylinder up to 100 ml. Then i will dip the expo marker in it. And let's say for example that it rises by 50 ml. Then the volume is 50 milliliters.)
