There's enough unique bottles here to make me want to collect one of them all. All these great photos.

 

Here's my small, but growing, collection. Yeah, the Noodler's Navajo Turquoise was the first bottle I opened and was surprised it was filled right to the very top. Now all ink is opened flat on a desktop. I have a small collection of ink samples I didn't include-there's only 10.

 

Love seeing everyone's collections!

Moonman, you are off to a great start with some great inks. I'm sensing you like purples. If you want a great blue - perhaps even a replacement for the fabled Parker Penman Sapphire, take a vial and mix Navajo Turquoise with you most saturated purple.

You are quite the photographer.

This is a snap of my small ink collection. I don't own the fancy ink bottles, but these keep my pens ready for writing!

Thank you and yes, I'm a purple kinda guy. That's my quest, to find the perfect purple for me. Blues I also love and many thanks for the recipe for mixing a substitute for Parker's Penman Sapphire.

WOW that's a collection. You don't own any fancy bottles? What are those two MontBlanc tops I see peeking out from either side?

Finally finished my late father's bottle of Quink. Decanted the last of it into a standard sized Quink bottle.

Had this bottle knocking around forever! I use many other inks, but occasionally go back for a fill of good old Quink.

I expected this bottle to run out years ago, but it just kept giving.

Now that it has gone, I can fit all my ink bottles into a regular sized box. Silver linings.

Thanks, Dad!

A few recent antique store finds. Some had dried ink dust, and some had (rather thick) ink still in the bottles.

 

Cheers,

One of the best bottles for use is the old Sheaffer with extra inkbubble inside. And one of the Beauties is the Waterman special bottle.

I like the De Atramentis bottles and the ink too, that smells like coffee, wood and Lava

[MoonMan]

I need to get a couple De Atramentis. Would love a coffee scented ink-the smell of it reminds me of my grandfather even tho I'm not a coffee drinker. I believe they also sell a patchouli scented ink?

[NORVIN]

Lots of beautiful old and new ink

 

Is there a resource to see what old inks are worth? I'd assume full, unused bottles are worth more correct?

Sailor ink tower....

And the other one...

 

 

I'll have to take an unboxed group shot too and post it up some time...
