Yay, thanks Scooby, I'm also waiting for the start date. Just refilled my pen with black in anticipation of it taking a while for postage again love the mystery ink series and I've been looking forward to trying this one since I got all three in the post!

I will have packages in the mail on Friday. Aside from the delay in Chicago for Empty_of_Clouds I think most international packages have been delivered in under a week. Local packages are 2-3 days. It is my hope that everyone has ink before the end of next week.

The postman has ink all over his fingers. Nice color, Scooby!

I hope we can already start......

Ok, I´ve inked up a Pelikan Ibis 130 with an extra fine nib with the mystery ink #17 and wrote a bit.

My first impressions:
The mystery ink #17 is orange ink, somehow a bit muddy towards brown.
It shades nicely flows good, no feathering or bleeding observed neither on Clairefontaine nor cheap paper, but I did not expected a bad result using an EF nib.
I immediately thought I know this ink. I will not write my guess down right now, not to spoil or influence the game for the others.

I will keep testing and posting

All packages are in the mail, so if you've received it you might as well get started.

I don't have mine yet. I can't wait to see it in person.

Oooh it's Orange and it looks very nice. Shame I missed it.

I'd say I'm 100% sure that you own this ink, but I don't know if you used it all up. So maybe 90% sure...

Now you've got me wondering. I'm going to look through my oranges tomorrow....

[Sammyo]

Based on the clues I think I know what it is... Of course this is also because I know Scooby and know some history...

Hmmm nobody received it yet?

Do you all live in New Zealand together with EoC?

[Wuddus]

UK here, and most mail from across the pond usually takes about 10 days to come to me. This is the first time with inks though, so I don't know if it will fare differently.

[Empty_of_Clouds]

I'll likely post in the next day or so. Been a bit busy here of late.

I received my sample yesterday. Hopefully I can write something up this weekend. As you can see in the one photo posted so far, it's an orange-ish ink. This is a color I have never used before, so unfortunately I doubt I'm going to have very much useful to say about it.

Wel, well, well! Speak of the Devil, guess what just fell through my letterbox. one of the labels had come away from the vial, but thankfully the other two were still in place, so it wasn't too big a mystery as to which was which

Cheers, Scooby. I'll get something up as soon as possible.

I decided to write something up this morning, before things get busier. Here's a photo since the scan I made didn't seem to show the color that well. Will this suffice for purposes here?
