They are traveling ink bottles in bakelite... marbled brown-redish, very practical when traveling.

They were hard too find but some were offered through e bay recently and I could not resist them.

So they are probably vintage, right? These days for travelling I use the 30ml bottles which come with diamine inks.

Everything is impermanent.

Dare I say, a rather patriotic content. :)

Indeed, based on quality/price ratio.

I did a little effort. Here is diamine Teal in a 80ml Diamine bottle. The pen is a M205 Pelikan. The notebooks are muji for the small one and I can't read the name of the other one (it's in japanese...).

I'll admit to having bought two bottles of these inks just for the bottle. The red was so lousy, I refused to use it in a pen or share it. The purple had interesting sheen, but is a stainer.

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

Create a Ghostly Avatar and I'll send you a letter. Check out some Ink comparisons: The Great PPS Comparison 

Don't know where to start?  Look at the Inky Topics O'day.  Then, see inks sorted by color: Blue Purple Brown Red Green Dark Green Orange Black Pinks Yellows Blue-Blacks Grey/Gray UVInks Turquoise/Teal MURKY

What a beautiful vintage collection!

 

Some biscuits? Yum-yum!

In most cases there are only sewing accessories in these, but this is even better than biscuits :lol:

I see a fantastic Pelikan travelling inkwell with a Pelikan 112 in a marvellous giftbox!!!

 

Would it be too much asked to post an additional picture of this? I have never seen one like this.

To be honest, I don't have seen any Pelikan gift boxes in real life at all. I only have a vintage advert of a different gift box.

JeanManuel,

The spherical bakelite bottles are from the early thirties...

 

brgmarketing,

Your bottles are simply delicious...!!!

 

Kawuska,

Jealous of your advertisement of the prewar Pelikan Gdansk offer !!!

 

Christof,

Originally the box was not in very good shape but a friend who knows about restoration made a pretty good job.

Yours are not bad at all, more boxes will come to you since you keep on looking for them...

Here are a couple of images....

Best, Ariel

That is one amazing set there!

 

I haven't taken a photo of my new Sailor beauties yet, but here is a little Pelikan art work I've found online:

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen. 
    • A Smug Dill
      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..
    • A Smug Dill
      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o
    • adamselene
      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
