I've enjoyed this week's offerings.

Here is my oldest bottle. Parker Super Quink Permanent Black. The wonderful Sinistral1 sent me this and it is very much treasured because of that.
From a small amount of research, I think it dates from around the early 1960s.

It's blacker than the blackest fountain pen ink, currently made, that I've ever tried, Noodler's Texas Black Bat and reveals a beautiful blue colour when washed over whilst keeping the original line. I have often looked out for some on eBay to no avail and continue to do so every now and then. It is a beautiful ink for sketching with. Perhaps my favourite black. :rolleyes:

Well, now for something a little different:

 

 

 

And nice shading:

That's beautiful, and a great example of how shading can make an ink look even better.

How has this passed under my radar . . . ?!

 

Gorgeous.

Thank you.

 

It's a quiet achiever IMO.

 

 

That is a nice brown!

 

Yes, I agree. I tend to forget about it and it's a welcome surprise when I return to it.

Yes, I think the shading is impressive.

      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
