I may end up with a nearly a quart (32 oz bottle!) of Shaeffer's red Skrip, advertised as from the 1940s "or earlier."
Have any of you used really old ink? I plan to syringe it into cartridges for my $5 calligraphy Shaeffer red pens. They cost $5 when I bought them new, around late 80s or early 90s. So I'm not worried about ruining my bank account.
I'll check the ink for mold-- other than that, any advice on putting this vintage ink to use?
Maybe thin it with some tap water or distilled water first?
