Ink Collection Pictures

That looks like a lot of blue ink!

 

Do you keep the original bottles?

 

I don't keep the original bottles unless I consider them "important." If not, they get recycled or reused by my wife to mix paint colors.

*"Important" is highly subjective but includes vintage inks, useful bottles, some modern inks/ brands no longer around, etc.

Thanks for showing your nice collection michelim. In the first photograph what are the two small square bottles in the first & second rows? The bottle in the first row( right hand side) has "orange" characters (?) & the bottle behind it has a gold top.

The both are black inks, one from Delta and the other from aurora:

My ink collect is still in it's infancy, and primary consists of little sample vials, not much to look at!

Thanks Amberlea.

Thank you! I confess to being "nosy" in the interest of discovering a "new" ink. I surely wouldn't have guessed Aurora since I usually associate it with the taller bottles. And the Delta bottle is equally surprising with the nice graphic. I appreciate your taking the time to reply.

Is that really poster of my ink cabinet on the wall? I'm shocked and flattered and smiling.

[GSteer]

Afraid it's only a mobile phone pic but this shows my current boxed bottles, samples are still bagged in a different cupboard. Got an amazing deal (£5!) on this this old wooden hi-fi separates unit with a raising lid for a turntable, ideal place to get to the bottles.

I like your pen storage cabinet!

[amberleadavis]

That's great.

I must say the collection is poster-worthy.

Oh, thank you!!!

 

It's expanded again. Thanks to a fellow FPNer, I now have one of the "ear" Rubinato bottles and thanks other FPNers, I have the scented Rubinatos inks.

Please let us know how you like those two inks. I have found the Aurora Black to be delightful. The Delta Black, on the other hand, has been desert dry. I have yet to find a pen that will even write with it. (Although, I have not tried it in my one-and-only Delta pen. I really should give that a try.)

That's perfect, when the ink burger comes in, s/he won't know where to look!!

I suppose the ink burger would be looking for that "special sauce" with which we write.

Exactly where do you keep that Parker Penman Sapphire again?

 

 

PS, I love those Really Useful Boxes.

Two observations:

1. I'm beginning to think of the ink industry more as a cartel with an endless supply of addicts as their customers as hoarders rather than users

2. If people got rid of their books they'd have more room for ink

I have to dedicate a whole drawer for Sailor:

I agree.

 

I actually moved books to the library to make room for ink.
