Favorite Ink Bottles

[ehemem]

I think the Akkerman bottles are the perfect intersection of functional and beautiful.

Greg, I agree. Can't think of a better design....

I will vote for Waterman. Simple, elegant, and functional. This design was also used by Montblanc and Pelikan for awhile.

 

BTW The Pelikan version was listed as # 77s "sechskantglas" or hexagonal glass.

fabrio00 put you into a bottle?

 

Yes... and I've been living in a bottle... an ink bottle... ...ever since I arrived at this place.

 

Be well.

Anthony, you maybe right as Sheaffer did make a grey ink in maroon bottle era-- which I'm guessing to be 70's-80's??

Hi OCArt, et al,

 

Yes, you're correct. They did have a non-descript gray that came out much later, (after that ad),... in the final generation, maroon label jars.

 

Maybe it took them that long to perfect it... ...or maybe they decided there wasn't enough of a market for a gray ink in the '40s/'50s, but there was in the '80s/'90s, (actually, gray was a popular color in the '80s/'90s ).

 

Sheaffer Gray was before my fp time, so I never used it, but I do know it was well-liked by those who did.

 

Be well.
