Senitor and Uhu BB ink

[Bo Bo Olson]

Small trade, a pound of coffee for a pen and then the lady remembered she had ink she'd not yet tossed.

 

Once Senator had been more than third tier....could be still is but it went through a bad time. MB sues them often for making a black and gold  cartridge pen called a President that's between a old New Balance and the 149.

Any time I looked they had the better nibbed of the President version for much more money than I wanted to give out......especially for a cartridge pen.

I'd say late '50-60's style. The Lady said she had it for 30 years....So 1990 is not out of reach.

 

 

 

. I did not ink the pen in I have  10 pens inked and am supposed to have a 7 pen max.

I pent too many years with 17 inked.

With seven pens inked, I can use up more ink.

thin fluid.....very color strong, writes light.

It's 1960's Blue Black ink.

 

There was a small light ring of old dried ink at the bottom of the body.  Had I thought, I could have filled the pen with water and written it empty. There was that much ink dried in that old pen that looked near clean.

I had to look up the ink, but from my 'vast' experience with old German piston pens, knew as soon as I let some water out of the pen, it was BB. That comes out stringy.....and takes quite awhile to clean.

 

Royal Blue no matter who makes it, comes out in a cloud and cleans out 3-4X faster than BB.

There is no Uhu inks listed in the ink reviews.

Well, they are from long ago.

I do have an old black&gold '40-50's Uhu fountain pen also.

What a lovely color of blue! I hope it was very nice coffee, otherwise it wasn't a very fair trade. 😊

And I thought that Uhu only made glue - interesting discovery!

Uhu besides glues also made many office or school supply items, erasers, pencil sharpeners and such.

 

In a live auction pen lot I won an Uhu school pen....as said, perhaps early '50's.
