guess the ink!

[migo984]

Damned if I'm drinking the stuff...

Absolutely my last guess, because by interweb connection is still in the 20thC and hates RO's website (amongst others) - Burgundy?

That's the one. Cheers 🍷🍷

[grainweevil]

Skål!

And now I must get me to the ink vaults for something mysterious. Oh rissoles...

[grainweevil]

Right, see how you fair with this one. I've left the image fairly large so you may see shading and whatnot.

Is the background swabbed ink and the lines the same ink from a nib?

Not Montblanc.

Neither is it R&K

It's a washed box. i.e. I draw the box and lines, and then apply water.

Sailor Blue Black?

[naimitsu]

Gonna guess Diamine 1864 Blue Black... though I'm most likely wrong

[grainweevil]

Sailor Blue Black?

It's not a Sailor branded ink.

You're absolutely right! You're wrong. It's not a Diamine ink either.

You're absolutely right! You're wrong. It's not a Diamine ink either.

LoL I see what you did there!
Ok... next SWAG... Aurora Blue-Black?

Alas, it's not an Aurora either.

Robert Oster Blue Night?

[grainweevil]

Not Diamine
Not Sailor
Not Montblanc
Not RK

Robert Oster Blue Night?

Aurora should also be on that list, and, unfortunately, Robert Oster goes to join it too.

Half the guesses have been closest in one respect, but only a third are close in another. (Not sure that warrants the lofty name of "clue", but it might help someone)

[Pterodactylus]

Pelikan Blue-Black?

[grainweevil]

Pelikan Blue-Black?

Warmest guess so far, Ptero, but it's not a Pelikan branded ink.

[Pterodactylus]

Cross Blue Black?

[sems]

Not Diamine
Not Sailor
Not Montblanc
Not RK
Not Aurora
Not RO
Not Pelikan

Pilot Blue-Black?

[Scooby921]

You said it wasn't Sailor branded, but you didn't say that it wasn't manufactured by Sailor...

Bungbox Seiya Silent Night?

[grainweevil]

Not Diamine
Not Sailor
Not Montblanc
Not RK
Not Aurora
Not RO
Not Pelikan

Pilot Blue-Black?

'fraid not.

You said it wasn't Sailor branded, but you didn't say that it wasn't manufactured by Sailor...

Bungbox Seiya Silent Night?

I wondered if I would lead anyone down the garden path with that! 'Tis not that ink.

Cross Blue Black?

And yes!

Tarnation, Ptero, I thought that one might last a while too. Dunno if the cartridges were ever really made by Pelikan as rumour has it, but the ones I have merely say "Made in China" - maybe these days it's Hero Bl-Blk?!
