Got one of the first bottles of Montblanc's Golden Yellow Ink from Appelboom.

 

Here a few images:

Nice review. I like yellow a lot but I'm not sure whether I would enjoy this one. PS - it's great to see your new review

[mehandiratta]

Thank you for saving my money...

[swanjun]

Huh. I like it in the tilted images (photos?) but not in the straight-on ones (scans?).

[Michael R.]

Yes, straight ones are scans and tilted one photographs.

 

It appears slightly brighter, yellow and more vivid in real life compared to the scans.

 

Cheers

PS: I will try to adjust the scans tomorrow during daylight a little bit ;-)

Uh, oh... they're peeving me off again... I asked them in Hamburg and they said "end of January", I asked them in a boutique here and they said "middle of January"... and now this....

I may still buy this ink but IYAM their knowledge about their own inks isn't worth a pinch o' coon'sink.

My bottle arrived a couple of weeks ago from La Couronne. I'm afraid it's a thumbs down from me. It is much brighter than I anticipated; it's very difficult to read. I'll be moving this one on, or maybe using it for mixing.

I did a slight adjustment of the written scans, trying to show a more accurate color.

 

Montblanc Golden Yellow resembles mango flesh in terms of color. More towards yellow and more intense and bright compared to the orange of Rhodia notepad.

Thank you for great and usefull review.

Nice color for a watercolor, but for writing I'm afraid it's too light.

[fireant]

I kind of like it, I'd need to try a sample first thought but it's a happy color.

I saw it in a CRV today. I love it. It is so bright and cheerful. Send it my way. I can see flower doodles with this and MB Pink.

Nice, I like it; thanks for the review!

[Hospitalier]

My lil' bottle literally arrived within the last few minutes; very nice wrapping by La Couronne Du Comte - I appreciate favourably the attention to detail.

Colour of the ink is a more solid, slightly darker shade than R&K Helianthus.

[sakayume]

Thanks for the review. I like the colour -- it looks so bright and cheerful! But my local shop still doesn't have it in.

Wonderful. Just a testament to Montblanc that thy are interested in producing interesting inks and pushing the envelope. Will definately get a bottle.

[Bo Bo Olson]

Mine is not bright at all....More the Golden than the Yellow and shades well. I should buy more.

 

No Name, late '30s-40's gold colored edel stahl semi-flex F nib, gold colored metal....looks like a Pfortzheim clip.

Golden Yellow...top then, Lucky Orange and Davis.http://i1339.photobucket.com/albums/o707/boboolson1/SAM_0897_zpsmubronup.jpg

Bo Bo yours might be the reissued version. The first version bottles and cartridges were recalled because they suffered from SITB

[Bo Bo Olson]

I thought so when I read ....when I read this at first I was worried....but my bottle is clean .

 

In both the yellow and the orange are darker than what others claim...I think it could be older bottles...in I'm 1/2 to a year late.

 

The wife knowing only the difference between mink and ink dropped off at my B&M because she was in the area and asked the clerk to pick an ink. He only had one of each MB left so she got me the yellow, orange and light Davis blue. (I'd already made up my mind not to buy Davis)...so I'll have to get rid of it quick. Good thing it's such a small bottle.
