Dunno, but if it's saying it's for "steel pens" on the label I'm betting they mean dip pens....

Although I suppose it *could* go into a Noodler's Boston Safety pen (assuming any more ever show up for sale... :wallbash:).

Got a terrific deal on these 60cc brush-bottles at Princess Auto (which has nothing to do with princesses or automobiles - its a kind of prairie-flavored Harbor Freight).

I chided myself immediately for buying them, then needed one almost instantly to rehouse a leaking bottle of W&N green.

 

Wonder if I should go back for the rest.

I love pretty bottles in general.

 

I have been collecting miniature perfume bottles ever since I was in elementary school. I also collected miniature liquor bottles and other random pretty bottles and filled them with sea shells, beads, or other beautiful pebbles.

 

So- yes, I bought some ink for the bottles!!! After all, I can almost say that, as much as I love my pretty pens, I am really in this hobby for the ink! I respond to colors, and it helps big time that those colorful ink come in nice bottles.

Thanks "inkstainedruth",

but today, I found on the web after long search (only) TWO other pictures.
One filename mentioned that Bill Ink is a Belgian product, but already from longtime ago.
So, I will start more investigations on my never used big Bill Ink bottle!

 

Probably it is not an US product.

      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
