I REMEMBER THAT WACKY INK BOTTLE!!

 

Oh my god, I have so many flashbacks right now. I think I used one of these for... I don't know, maybe a year or a semester during high school, in tandem with a Pelikano. I think I finished a bottle and then since I couldn't find another bottle in any store, I lost the pen to the uncharted depths of my drawers.

 

This is awesome, thank you so much! What a walk down memory lane that bottle is. You made my day. : )

You‘re welcome. You can unscrew the cap and refill it with whatever ink you like.

A recent addition to the camp, and bargain of the year for me £20 from the London Pen Show, my gorgeous Conklin All American :wub:

Like my Crescent Filler its EF nib is super smooth and the pen, to both hold and use, is an utter joy.

I spent a good few hours on another telegraph pole sketch with it. Didn't want it to end. I just kept adding and adding details.

Hoping this works: Pilot Retro Pop Turquoise

 

You managed to make that Turquoise appealing to me, and I didn't know it was possible judging by many pictures online.

Wow that looks like a TWSBI.

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

      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..
    • 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

      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
