I do believe you are correct Gerry... opening an old bottle of Waterman ink is right up there with the smell of fresh baked bread and apple pie.

[Chairman]

I have:

 

Noodler's:

• black
  
• Nightshade
  
• Iraqi Indigo
  
• Blue-Black
  
• Zhivago
  
• Walnut
  
• Aircorp blue-black

What I want:

• **I'll trade for pretty much anything I don't have, so this is not a conclusive list**
  
• Noodler's Eternal Brown

[eric.zamir]

To quote KCat, I'm really saturated with ink. Engorged. And I'm in Italy, so it's not always easy to trade, like at the pen club meetings in the US or Israel, or wherever. I would prefer to trade than to sell and buy, so here's what I have for trade, and what I am seeking:

Omas Vespucci Red - full, brand new in Vespucci box, with Vespucci label, etc. (125ml) - I would like to trade this for, say three new bottles of PR: Blue Suede, Fiesta Red & Avacado.

PR American Blue, Visconti Ultramarine (turquoise) - large, old fashioned "hourglass" bottle with base, Herbin Poussiere de Lune, and 85-90% full bottles of Visconti Green (smaller hourglass bottle) and Noodler Ottoman Azure. I can also offer Sheaffer Peacock Blue (NOS), Visconti Black (large, old style bottle) and Lapis (same).

I'm looking for Sheaffer Burgundy, Caran d'Ache Turquoise, Jansen Stahlblau (and the items listed above).
