Blue Upon The Plains Of Abraham: $10 Cad

I bought this ink from the Toronto Pen Show. It was sweet deal. I don't think this Noodler's ink is currently in production.

It was made exclusive for Sleuth and and Statesman.. I thought I bought the last one a year ago. I got it at 70% off .. ... so not feeling too jelly of your good fortune.

Nice looking ink. Looks a bit bluer than Noodler's Polar Blue.

Great Penmanship!

 

BTW how does this compare to the Noodler's ink that Agge found for us?

Amber,

 

Thanks for the compliment.

 

I don't understand your question about Agge? What's Agge?

The Penmanship comment is for you... the Agge comment is for me.

 

Agge is a fellow FPN'er that traded a few bottles of Stockholm Indigo with me. (and Amber)

Interesting.  I bought a bottle of Blue Upon the Plains of Abraham from Wonder Pens in Toronto a few years ago (I was going up to a conference and detoured into Toronto to go to the store before going out to the conference, which was in a hotel at the airport -- getting stuck in Friday afternoon rush hour traffic from Hamilton on, and then after leaving the downtown area; and that was AFTER getting stuck in a construction zone traffic jam trying to get to the Peace Bridge on the US side of the border).  

My bottle is more of a blue grey color than what your link shows (I wasn't getting the purple undertones I'm seeing in your link).  But then, it was also about four or five years ago at this point.

I should pull that bottle out at some point -- I haven't used the ink for a while....

Ruth,

 

Sometimes....it's better to simply have the vendor mail the ink or pen.  I certainly don't attend pen shows in different cities for just pens and inks.  Transportation cost and hotel fees don't justify the money and time.  Better use of time is order online and have vendor ship the pen or inks.  If I was a pen maker, then yes. I would need to attend pen shows to reach prospective buyers.  Stuck in traffic....we all been there.  Be thankful your line of work does not involve transportation of goods because being stuck in traffic is part of your job description.

I wasn't at a pen show.  I was going to an educational conference for the organization I belong to.  Since I was going to be in Toronto *anyway* I figured I'd do a little shopping before heading back out to the conference, which started Friday evening.  

It was sort of amusing when I got back across to the US side on Sunday and when I got to US Customs, and asked if I had anything to declare, I said "I bought a bottle of ink...."
