    Default PIF: Bottle of old Pelikan Blue-Black

    Hi Folks,
    I'm a new member and I just stumbled onto these Pay It Forward threads, which are a wonderful idea. I've got some extra bottles of ink I'll be happy to send off to new homes. They all have been opened and used a little, but the colors just didn't work for me.

    This one is no longer available in the U.S.:

    Pelikan 4001 Blue-Black. 30 ml bottle.

    I know it had a bit of a following and folks were upset when Pelikan discontinued it. I found a bottle in a local art store, tried it for myself. A nice ink, but I already have a bunch of blue-blacks.

    I'll hold this open for a week, and will do a random draw of all entries on Monday February 9th at 8pm. Everyone's welcome to enter, including international (although if postage gets really prohibitive to someplace far from the U.S., I may ask for someone to share a bit of the shipping costs. I hope that's okay.)

    Good luck!
    Elaine

    Would love to try this ink; I hear it's relatively iconic. Please include me in the PIF drawing.

    Very generous. I am new and don't know the difference between inks yet so this is not an entry.
