Your note about the Barock ink being nice to write makes me wonder why Barock doesn't export. Hmmmm.

 

Thanks for the review.

May you have pens you enjoy, with plenty of paper and ink. :)

Looks very close to Sheaffer Scrip Green... perhaps a little brighter.

I was wondering that, and will soon compare some Skrip green to this review on my monitor.

If it was sold in the USA I would have to get it just because of the name.

I am a huge Dresden Files fan.

Greetings all,

 

That is a great color- reminds me of the New York Central Railroad's Jade Green from the '50s and '60s. Can you get it from an online dealer in Europe that ships to the States?

 

All the best,

 

Sean :)

Interesting color reminds MB of MB Emerald Green

Pens are like watches , once you start a collection, you can hardly go back. And pens like all fine luxury items do improve with time

Nov 8, 2023. Just seen on German TV.

Best news is some 6-8 of their inks are on sale at a local grocery store. for €12.95.

 

The original company was started in @ 1876 ('36? Wasn't paying attention.), when coal tar dyes came in for a permanent ink. It was once a great big huge company....Big BAROQUE sign as one came into Dresden and left. Huge buildings.

 

Baroque was a Dresden ink, that got nationalized and was about the only ink in East Germany, and typewriter ribbons and early East zone computer printer inks. .....

When the Wall fell and the W. German government  sold for 1 DM, any company that could be dangerous to any W. Germany company....7-8,000 hour life time light bulbs....vs 2,000 hour die fast Western world light bulbs and so many other factories.

 

Baroque inks were shut down three times....the original recipes rest somewhere else....but a couple men, one retired man is keeping the old machines running. The other is filling ink bottles one at a time, by putting the tops on and sticking a label on it...as a brand new start up.

I'll have to look it up, an see what inks he's making.

 

In reference to P. T. Barnum; to advise for free is foolish, ........busybodies are ill liked by both factions.

It seems like "Barock", after the last time they shut down, which was 2011, sort of morphed into Octopus Inks. And now Octopus Inks are restoring the Barock brand.

      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
