A Glut Of Desk Blotters Going Spare!


Inkysloth

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

 

My partner's office just had a major clearout, and he's brought home about 20 desk blotters (with blotting paper attached)

 

Anyone who wants one, for the price of postage (about £3.00 but I need to measure & weigh to be sure) is welcome to one - just drop me a PM.

 

They're about 16" x 10" or thereabouts, half are black, half are dark green.

I would be interested, please - by a green one, if possible.

Could you ship to France?

 

And would it be possible to see them? ;)

I would be interested too. Can you possibly post a picture of them for me?

 

Edit- I didn't see you were in the U.K. Never mind then, since the shipping would be quite high.

Royal Mail International Economy is £5.30 (this seems to cover Mainland Europe & the USA, I've not checked other locations yet.

 

The size is 45x30cm.

 

There's a photo in my gallery, but I don't seem able to copy and paste the link across from an ipad. (The field with the BB Code can be partially selected, but I can't select the whole link). I'm hoping this will take you to the photo:

Wow, I'm fortunate enough to be in Berkshire, England for this one. Please could I enter for this generous PIF?

 

I would so love a desk blotter to do my ink reviews on. I currently have several sheets of kitchen roll around the pad of papers that I use for the reviews, so I don't get ink anywhere. It looks so messy.

 

Inkysloth thanks for putting on this PIF.

I would be interested. Sending PM.... Sounds like the perfect size for my 22 x 44 desk.... (I am in the US)

Sending you a PM. I've always wanted one!

So, what's your point?

First batch parcelled up and sent out - there's a fair few left, so still PM if you'd like one.

Best wishes all

Being the fountain of youth that I am, I had to go look it up to figure out what a desk blotter was for. I found this handy explanation for anyone else who is too young to know how to use one of these.

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
