If you like writing with inks of old, this online shop may interest you. Jon Szanto's image of a pinup ink blotter in the Lounge prompted a Google search that dredged up this link, with the surprise of full vintage ink bottles for sale: VintageVille (http://www.esnarf.com/ds6.htm)

I can't get it to open here. :(

Strange. Unless your ISP is blocking access to certain domains (including http://www.esnarf.com), your browser is misbehaving.

Not opening for me I'm afraid. Just hangs.

[fountainpagan]

Likewise to me

[Deb]

It won't open for me either.

[AzJon]

Works fine for me. Neat fined, Fred!

[FredRydr]

Very strange!

Nope. It just sits there with just over an inch of blue line that stubbornly refuses to move.

Works for me. Thanks for the link.

If this thread is any indication, it seems that the website won't open for anyone not in North America.

[Hawk]

Cool site.

visit https://hide.me/en/proxy

copy 'http://www.esnarf.com/ds6.htm' into the box that says 'Enter web address', choose 'USA' from 'Proxy location' drop-down box and click 'visit anonymously'.

Works for me.

Thank you. It worked for me too. :)

[SIR]

Now you know how to proxy!

I only learned that skill wanting to watch the second series of 'Arne Dahl' without waiting for it to be aired by BBC - the Swedish channel would not stream to a non-Swedish IP address...

Just search 'proxy servers' if you have similar problems again.

[Jon Szanto]

Wow, I did that, Fred?

Tell me: is that bottle(s) of Waterman's South Sea Blue worth it?

[fountainpagan]

Thank you, SIR, it worked well for me.

VintageVille states in regard to its inks: "Sorry, no shipping in winter months for obvious reasons." I've never suffered a frozen ink incident, and hope I never will, especially inside a pen!

This is not the first time I've heard of this. :( Maybe you have much worse winter weather in some States over there, than we have over here, but that's not a warning I've seen on a British FP ink site. :)
