There is a queen on the label....to the side, a minor panel in a panorama...but it is not, ah - well...conventional or conservative. She is certainly not a Mata Hari - in fact she is in a full ball gown and quite elegant....yet there is a detail that is unusual and that I am certain no other company would ever put upon a product. Many users of Noodler's Inks are authors and artists. I believe they will be the pensters to appreciate the humor, though perhaps not as many members of any European aristocracy would find it as amusing.

 

Hint: the name is French - with perfect French structure and spelling....just for fun. ;-)

 

She also liked cake....

 

Sounds like ...

Has anyone seen this yet?

 

"La Reine Mauve"

 

I checked Swisher Pens and did not see it. It looks like it's a standard distribution item, and not an exclusive.

Hmmm, maybe you should add some kind of kooky chick to the label, too. ;)

I believe I've found it.

YAY!! Now Nathan needs to let us know who will have it! I'm dying to get my hands on some.

 

It was never implied to be an exclusive. We just had an email campaign started by kookychick to say, "please give us bulletproof purple!" It looks to be here! I'm excited! :bunny01: :bunny01: :bunny01: :bunny01: :bunny01:

 

THANK YOU :notworthy1: KOOKYCHICK :notworthy1: AND NATHAN!! :notworthy1:

 

 

 

edit: I have 3 bottles on reserve. It just became available yesterday for dealers to order. Nice catch, El Mocho!

Love the ad copy

 

Alas, the evolution of this ink and this label incorporated the input of more than 1,000 Noodler's Ink aficionados and references to vintage inks spanning nearly 100 years.

kookychick, what's "Prime of the Commons Blue-Black"? :)

 

It's a bulletproof "security ink"--I believe it's a Niche Pens exclusive. Supposedly, if you pour bleach on it (i.e., try to alter it), it turns blue! Here's where I got it (no affiliation, but they were fantastic to purchase from):

http://www.pelikanpens.co.uk/water-proof-inks.htm

 

It's in the Legal Lapis/Tahitian Pearl color range, but has been shading more noticeably than either of those two. Nathan said that with certain papers, the blue and black almost separate. I haven't had much of a chance to use it extensively, but it flows quite well (though isn't a gusher). I'm really enjoying the shading, and am looking forward to trying it out on different papers (after exams)! :D

Wow. That sounds like a fantastic Noodler's find, too! I might have to see about getting a bottle.

 

I preordered 3 bottles of La Reine Mauve from Todd at ISellPens. I might have it within a week to 10 days, depending on when Todd gets his order and the amount available overall from Nathan. The rush is on to see who will pop up the first review (though I think that honor should go to kookychick). :D

Here's a detail (from the Luxury Brands page):

post-483-1224728552_thumb.jpg

 

In general I'm not a purple fan, but I'll be getting some Reine Mauve, which I'm betting will combine with Noodler's standard Blue or Eel Blue to make a nifty second-generation Mystery Blue. Also, I must admit, it's an attractive color in its own right. B)

That's really sweet of you, kiavonne! :D But I don't want to stifle anyone's creative urges (and I'll be in the middle of some massive exams when the ink arrives), so please, everyone should feel free to review it whenever they get it! :thumbup:

      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
