[wherndon]

Here's mine, ha ha
A bottle of Quink, some Waterman cartridges, and several bags of samples.

This is an old pic of some used in rotation then and is likely less than half of the ink I have. Brianw has me beat, though.

Do you know how much ink it takes to fill 2000 Parker 51s?


To the OP- my pic is at the link. I will be adding Diamine Denim and maybe Blue-Black next week.

There is a common condition called "lacka-skripsa-phobia". I had it until recently.

First the dusty old shelf where the bottles sleep.

then when they come out to play

except the PR American Blue and the Sailor nano Blue Black who were at work.

Brian, shutterguy.... you have given me some serious skrip-inadequacy... I've never felt this way before and I want to be just like you... when I grow up.

I need to get some Skrip... or at least an old bottle lol.

I was thinking the same thing. My need for vintage ink just kicked in while looking at this thread.

Here is my collection.

Holy... looking at razors are one thing, and tons of soaps.. but pens once filled last longer than a single use. I was looking at my five bottles a bit ago and thinking, "I hope this doesn't go bad. This is going to take me years." and now.. I am dumbfounded, and at the same time wondering why I don't have Skrip...

Mind boggling pictures here, just.. wow.

I'd be unceremoniously single again if the SWMBO ever found a stash of ink that pervasive!

what are you supposed to do? You walk into an "antique" shop and the nice elderly lady says "I have 8 bottles of Sheaffer's if you're interested. $12.00 a bottle."

"Thank you Sharon, but I only NEED one bottle. I should leave the rest for other needy FP users." I am too weak. Weak as water.

Here is one drawer.

You play with Dip pens Austin ?

As inadequate as it is, I'll post it in all it's glory.



Also these 2 that I picked up in the French Quarter on Saturday. (That's Fwench Qwater for James)

This my work desk stash. Always get puzzling looks when people walk through the office and see my desk for the first time. Apparently our hobby is old-fashioned or something....

 

[Relentless]

Doesn't ink have a shelf-life, or is the prevention of oxidation enough to ensure a bottle will last for years?

Depends on the storage. I love vintage inks, a few decades properly stored are not an issue. Be mindful of contamination issues, too.

I think most inks have preserving agents in them. I keep mine stored in their boxes to protect them from sun light, just in case.
