Got *two* shipments today -- one from the esteemed personages at Goulet Pens, one from an auction site. The main thing I was getting at the auction site were the three Sheaffer NoNonsense pens -- translucent blue, translucent green, and translucent grey-black. However, the set they were in came with 14 Skrip ink cartridges.

 

So, in total today, I received:

 

Lamy Dark Lilac (bottle)

 

Noodler's Bad Blue Heron (sample)

 

Sheaffer Skrip Blue-Black (cartridge)

Sheaffer Skrip Jet Black (cartridge)

Sheaffer Skrip Blue (cartridge)

Sheaffer Skrip Brown (cartridge)

Sheaffer Skrip Grey (cartridge)

Sheaffer Skrip Red (cartridge)

Sheaffer Skrip Burgundy (cartridge)

Sheaffer Skrip Lavendar (cartridge)

Sheaffer Skrip Emerald Green (cartridge)

Sheaffer Skrip King's Gold (cartridge)

Sheaffer Skrip Peacock Blue (cartridge)

 

 

I'm very much looking forward to trying the Skrip inks -- based on the names, it looks like these are all from the time before ink manufacturing for Sheaffer moved to Slovenia, and as such a lot of the images from the FPN reviews of them have vanished into the æther, so I'm not at all sure what some of them even look like. (And, sure, I guess Google could come to the rescue for most of them, but I confess that I think I'd like to leave it a surprise.) I'm especially looking forward to the Peacock Blue, as I'm a great lover of turquoise and teal inks, and the old Skrip Peacock seems to be very well thought of around these parts.

A beautiful ink. One of only a very few that I have in duplicate.

The Peacock was the ink I chose when I received the TWSBI ECO, my first clear demonstrator. BUT many people are equally, if not more excited about the King's Gold, which is a wonderful ink. You are going to be in for a lot of fun trying out these inks, Enjoy!

I had given up getting one of these diamond shape bottles.

Thank you, again, to the gentle FPN member who aloowed me to have one

What a gorgeous bottle! I'll be over here, swooning.

 

I'm waiting for a few Chesterfield Inks to come in (the sale was too good for me to pretend I wasn't going to buy 5 of them), Navajo Turquoise, Lamy Dark Lilac, Emerald of Chivor, a big big bottle of Lexington Gray, and a sample each of the two Private Reserve DC blues. I think I'm overcompensating because I think my bottle of Shell Pink has SITB, but I'm not sure.

Just ordered some Diamine inks, can't wait for their arrival.

 

Florida Blue, China Blue, Sepia, Matador, Ruby and two shimmer inks.

 

Allowing for postage, for an Australian it is far cheaper to buy direct from Diamine in the UK

than buying locally.

Ishida Bungu IAI135 "school brown" and Hakodate Kjelmaniella (Gagome) brown-green, via White Rabbit, should arrive next week. Wanted to get another bottle of Hakodate Twilight Blue, but they're out until later in the summer.

Many thanks. I've heard a lot of great things about King's Gold, too, and I'm actually on the fence as to which of the two I'd like to try first. But, I picked up my jug of distilled water today, so I'll be reconstituting one of them tomorrow.

[emeraldofchivor]

Iroshizuku kon peki and kosumosu, and also Visconti blue, turquoise and green

Note to self: don't use the reconstituted ink in a brand-new pen. Because if you do, and the ink flow is bad, you won't know if it's the way you reconstituted the ink, the feed, the nib, some combination of those, or something else entirely.

Bot only do you have one of those nice bottles, but you have an ink that is very hard to get a hold of, only 200 bottles filled and limited to two bottles per customer. If memory serves, they weresold out mid afternoon on the first day of Meruzen's pen fair. Someone sold a bottle of this on ebay for $150, USD. Edited June 6, 2016 by Tinjapan

Wow! Silly prices again.

I managed to source a bottle for Cyber6 for $40 quite recently. Not sure that's repeatable now though.

[Tinjapan]

You got a bottle of Fukuro for $40!??!!

 

You guys are making me look bad. I live here in Japan and can't get any more of Fukuro! Not even for myself.
