The following should be up on the Boston Pen show site soon, if not quoted exactly as I wrote it - I am posting it personally upon this board for the record. It is as follows:

 

 

"As the first pen show I ever attended and the only one I have attended with some regularity, the Boston show is near and dear... This year - to help my fellow pen aficionados take the time and effort to attend the show Noodler's is offering a variety of inks in our rarely seen larger bottle sizes at a cost level that can't be beat: lower than the inflation adjusted all time low of 1936 for ink prices (this approximates to a 40 to 50% discount per oz.) in: 16 oz, 32 oz, 1/2 gallon, and full gallon. They will be available at the show on Sunday while supplies last (and with as large a quantity as the suspension system that my transportation will support safely! They are rare because they are heavy and shipping is very costly...). In addition, there will be numerous ink wells, glass desk sets, ink well desk inserts, etc...priced below market and thus for everyday use - yet all cir. 1742 to as late as 1927 - again...while supplies last. Vintage inks from prior to 1948 will be available as well as many unrestored vintage fountain pens - parts for restoration included as "do it yourself" kits and many priced at a mere 5% above their scrap gold content. There will be numerous fully functioning pens priced below $6 as well. Lastly, as a result of a recent find of mint condition and sealed vintage Boston area inks - there will be available several replica vintage inks based upon production from the golden age of the fountain pen. Thus, if you don't make it to Boston this year - it is my intention that these prices will make you have regrets later on for missing the show! Please note: due to time restraints I will no longer be accepting any pen restoration projects or nib work and pens will be sold "unrestored" - there simply is no longer the time. Apologies in advance."

The pen could be mightier than the thief and the gun if it is filled with a bulletproof ink too!

 

May be available again soon, I hope...but not at the moment:

Not fair! Boston is too far from Los Angeles!

Oh well, maybe one day you will visit the LA International Pen Show and show the West Coast some love.

I'm planning on going to the show specifically for Noodler's ink. I don't think I'll buy a gallon though, but you never know!

While it likely wouldn't be a variant on offer due to the exclusive arrangement, a 16 ounce bottle of Legal Lapis would be outstanding.

 

The replica colors are even more interesting to me. Alas, I really doubt that I'm going to make arrangements for a 12 hour trip one way. Good luck to all you New Englanders! I hope it's everything I'm imagining and more.

Best of luck to you, Nathan. May you sell out all your inks by the end of the first day.

Yours,

From a person's actions, we may infer attitudes, beliefs, --- and values. We do not know these characteristics outright. The human dichotomies of trust and distrust, honor and duplicity, love and hate --- all depend on internal states we cannot directly experience. Isn't this what adds zest to our life?

A whole gallon of ink! :puddle: We're talking about Boston on the east coast of England, right? I'm on my way over...

Good lord -- I thought it got dim here (North Carolina) yesterday afternoon because it was getting ready for yet another spring thunderstorm, when all along it was just Nathan filling gallon jugs with HoD -- a gallon of that stuff could dim the whole eastern seaboard! :roflmho:

I got some HOD in a trade a month ago or so. Yesterday I finally got around to putting it in a pen. The stuff really is a dark black ink -- do you think it's the stuff they put in light bulbs to suck dark? :rolleyes:

I'm disappointed in the lack of 5 gallon water cooler jugs full of ink, Nathan. :P

 

Sorry, that image just filled my head. Everybody at the office standing around the 5 gallon ink fountain, refilling their wells

Wouldn't want to drop that gallon one on the kitchen floor! :lol:

Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right

to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.

It washes off plastic! ;)

 

You'd probably be far worse off if you dropped it hard enough on carpet for the floor below to shatter the glass (though some carpet is virtually 100% synthetic, I guess).

      >Well, I knew people who were photography majors in college, and I'm pretty sure that at least some of them were doing photos in color,<   I'm sure they were, and my answer assumes that. It just wasn't likely to have been Kodachrome.  It would have been the films I referred to as "other color films." (Kodachrome is not a generic term for color film. It is a specific film that produces transparencies, or slides, by a process not used for any other film. There are other color trans

      @Ceilidh -- Well, I knew people who were photography majors in college, and I'm pretty sure that at least some of them were doing photos in color, not just B&W like I learned to process.  Whether they were doing the processing of the film themselves in one of the darkrooms, or sending their stuff out to be processed commercially?  That I don't actually know, but had always assumed that they were processing their own film.

      Kodachrome 25 was the most accurate film for clinical photography and was used by dermatologists everywhere. I got magnificent results with a Nikon F2 and a MicroNikkor 60 mm lens, using a manually calibrated small flash on a bracket. I wish there were a filter called "Kodachrome 25 color balance" on my iPhone camera.
