I just bought a vintage bottle of black Pelikan ink, it is a tall, very large bottle. What did I get? It is written in German.... :blush:

 

"Pelikan

feinste wasserfeste

Auszieh-Tusche

Perltusche

Schwarz"

 

I understand only Schwarz...

 

On the side of the bottle, there is a very long explanation, that would take me too long to write down and then a warning:

 

"Vor Frost zu schützen!" :yikes:

 

Is this ink for a typewriter? Better ask before loading a pen :wacko:

 

Thank you!

I'm not very good with German but I've learned some in my dealings with Pelikan. "Feinste wasserfeste" I belive means finest waterproof. "Schwartz" as you said is black. That warning means, "Protect from freezing." That's all I know I'm afraid. Do you have a picture?

Sorry to tell you, but it's not ink for a Fountain Pen. It is waterproof, non-fading drawing ink which can with the use of distilled water be diluted to the shade you desire. So, if you use dip pens, and you like to draw black, shades of grey, and white pictures you are in luck, otherwise, not so much.

I agree with Parker51. This does not seem to be fountain pen friendly stuff from what I can glean from the bottle. It strikes me as being India Ink.

Thank you. I will use it with dip pens. I would have never filled a Pelikan without knowing for sure :) but I might try it in a TWSBI one day.

 

Parker 51, does it says it is drawing ink? Sargetalon, why do you think it it is India ink? I have a bottle of Pelikan India ink, the small glass one. Maybe this bottle was to refill the small ones?

right, it IS india ink. no use in fountain pens. "Ausziehtusche" means india ink, for technical drawings, architectural drawings, etc... Waterproof and non fading in sunlight. Slso used by artists, cartoonists etc...

 

Pelikan did manufacture india ink for fountainpens as well, it's called "fount india".

 

But your bottle is very decorative.

Thank you Christof! I must learn some German, but today I know one more word, "Ausziehtusche"!

      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.

      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..

      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

      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
