Sheaffer Skrip ink from the 1940’s - interesting observation

Apparently, Sheaffer ink from the 40’s was popular with cartoon makers. I was just watching an old episode of Tom & Jerry in which Jerry used a yellow label bottle of blue ink to pour on Tom that apparently was waterproof. One of my favorite cartoon episodes, but apparently they didn’t use Parker ink at Hanna Barbera cartoons.

 

Did Sheaffer use a yellow label like I think they did?

Well according to fountainpenlove, Sheaffers Skrip labels and boxes were primarily yellow from 1939 to 1959 so your cartoon observation has merit and is probably correct.

I remember buying the yellow bottles of Sheaffer ink in the early 1960s, when I was in elementary school, seventh and eighth grades.
