New old stock from a previously unopened wholesale case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"302\" data-end=\"566\"\u003eWriting samples shown were created using a separate demo bottle from the same wholesale find. This historic blue-black formulation shows beautiful tonal variation and deepens in color as it dries, characteristics associated with early iron gall-style writing inks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"568\" data-end=\"942\"\u003eWe tested the ink with a dip pen on Crane’s Crest Pearl White Wove paper and were delighted to find that the blue tone deepens toward a richer blue-black as it settles. The first photo shows three passes made with a dip pen on Crane paper: from bottom to top, fresh, settling, and dried. Shading and tonal variation are especially lovely with broader nibs and quality paper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"944\" data-end=\"960\"\u003eRecommended for:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"961\" data-end=\"1106\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1bsy8xp\" data-start=\"961\" data-end=\"971\"\u003edip pens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"y0sdhc\" data-start=\"972\" data-end=\"981\"\u003ebrushes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"td07j0\" data-start=\"982\" data-end=\"1022\"\u003ehistoric writing materials collections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"10cusvt\" data-start=\"1023\" data-end=\"1055\"\u003efountain pen ephemera displays\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"efdlxb\" data-start=\"1056\" data-end=\"1106\"\u003eartists and calligraphers exploring vintage inks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1108\" data-end=\"1188\"\u003eDue to age, we recommend these for dip pen use rather than modern fountain pens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1190\" data-end=\"1513\"\u003eThe pictured unopened bottle and box in photos 2-4 are representative of overall condition and presentation quality. Bottles remained packed together in the original wholesale carton for decades and may show minor handling variation from long-term storage and movement within the case. With one notable exception of the bottle that is now our tester\/sample bottle, the entire lot is remarkably clean.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"shopjunket","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49433034817674,"sku":"JD232227","price":76.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0595\/3365\/6202\/files\/Waterman_sBlueBlack-1_1.jpg?v=1778965436","url":"https:\/\/shopjunket.com\/products\/1930s-waterman-s-permanent-blue-black-ink-nos-w-box-vintage-dip-pen-ink","provider":"shopjunket","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
