OK, I fell in love with the bottle. Looks like a near perfect copy of the Parker Penman ink bottle-- except that the Hero brand name is in raised letters around the bottom circumference. Packaging is very classy with gold-foil lettering and an embossed box insert.

 

Unfortunately that's the end of the good news. The ink was a brownish-black color and clogged my pen even quicker than the Hero 234 Carbon Black ink did! I will dump the ink and keep the bottle for my mix of Noodler's Inkmyn Sapphire from amberleadavis' great recipe.

It says Pigment ink. Looking on the web this ink is also referred to as carbon. tI may be the pigment has settled and the bottle shaken up. I looked up a couple of reviews and found them favorable. I fear my post may have come too late and by now you will have disposed of the contents!

They came as a boon, and a blessing to men,
The Pickwick, the Owl and the Waverley pen

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth

      There is still chemistry for processing regular chrome (positive) films like Kodak Ektachrome and Fuji Velvia, but Kodachrome was a completely different and multistep beast.

      Ah, but how to get it processed - that is the question. I believe that the last machine able to run K-14 (Kodachrome processing) ceased to operate some 15 or so years ago. Perhaps the film will be worth something as a curiosity in my estate sale when I die. 😺

      Take a lot of photos!   If the film has deteriorated or 'gone off' in any way, you can use that as a 'feature' to take 'arty' pictures - whether of landmarks, or people, or whatever.
