For Aussies Looking For Nalgene Bottles ...

[effrafax]

If you haven't already discovered this, Paddy Pallin which is a nationwide (capital cities at least) hiking/adventure/camping store, have these in stock, and in the small sizes suitable for ink storage (usual disclaimer applies). I wouldn't be surprised if other similar-type shops have them too, or something similar.

 

These are the different sizes that I bought yesterday:

 

 

From left to right we have:

• 1 oz/30 ml jar, ideal for dip pens ($3.50);
• 1 oz/30 ml wide round bottle ($2.95);
• 1/2 oz/15 ml narrow round bottle($2.45);
• 1/4 oz/8 ml narrow round bottle ($1.95).

They are also available in square and rectangular shapes, but I think these round ones are probably better for ink, and the necks of the bottles are just right for pen nibs to fit. The prices above are AUD, naturally.

 

Paddy Pallin can be found online at: http://www.paddypallin.com.au/ (again, usual disclaimer).

 

Cheers,

Effrafax.

Thanks for the tip

I always use the 15-ml bottles (bought elsewhere). Never did understand why people are always looking for any special ink pots or sacs or buckets or barrels when you can get these precious and undestructable Nalgene gems!
