    It's why they're called mystery inks!

    Just saw this thread at the other place. New guess for MI34 is Fritz Schimpf Sundowner.

    I would be interested to learn if you used the same pen and filled with MI#34 first? If you did I fear that maybe you had a tiny smidgen of that left in your pen somewhere when you then inked up MI#35 and it slightly turned the blue into green?

    Excellent question, but I used separate pens for my testing. MI35 went into a clean Lamy Studio, whereas MI34 went into a Pelikan M215.

    Even the ink clinging to the side of the sample vial looks teal to me. I am sure I haven't contaminated my sample. Maybe I'll try a chroma test (never successfully achieved before) and see if I get a similar result to yours.

    Hmm...don't suppose ol' junglejim is having some fun at our expense, do you?

    I have a guess for the blue, but zero idea about the orange. Which I love.
    My other pen is a Montblanc.

    My vote for MI #35 goes to L'Artisan Pastellier Callifolio Equinoxe No 6. A long time favourite of mine that always fills my Sheaffer Legacy.

    One only has to look at Chrissy's excellent review of Cult Pens Deep Dark Matthew to see how the ink color changes, depending on the paper used.

    linky: https://fpgeeks.com/forum/showthread...rk-Matthew-New

    BTW, That is why each batch of Mystery Ink samples I send out are different colors. So I don't get confused. [ Although I am tempted to send out a batch of just all black samples some day, LOL!! ]

    **Full disclosure: All Mystery Ink samples are purchased by the bottle from one of the many ink vendors on the internet. I have purchased and tested those samples in the past and thought the ink might be interesting to me. I would NEVER use one of my custom-mixed inks for the MI series. It wouldn't be fair, and those custom mixed inks are made only for certain dear pen-friends.

    So true! I enjoy using sepia and brown inks on vintage postcards, and sometimes the color is stable, while other times those inks turn dark grey. It doesn't surprise me anymore.

    April showers bring May flowers. Here on the Central Coast of California that means California Poppies and Blue lupine.




    Mystery Ink #34 is from a company that unfortunately disappeared due to the Covid-19 pandemic. I decided to share my last full bottle of Blackstone Wild Orange with our participants here at fpg. If you still have the sample vial, open it up and sniff. You will be greeted with a very light scent of citrus. Australian Wild Orange isn't actually a citrus fruit, but belongs to the caper family (Capparis mitchelii).

    Mystery ink #35 is also from down-under ( Tasmania ). A lovely dark blueish-green, it is Van Dieman's Blackened Seas.

    linky: https://vanness1938.com/collections/...blackened-seas

    I hope you enjoyed this session of the Mystery Ink series. The next set of bottled inks have been chosen and put aside for late August. Until then, stay Safe and Healthy!

    All the Best.

    Thank you Jim! We very much appreciate your generosity of time and postage to allow us to sample different and interesting inks.

    It's a shame that Blackstone Wild Orange is no longer available - it seems that all participants thought it was a great ink and would happily have picked up a bottle.

    What an amazing picture! Did you have it in mind when you chose the inks?

    The Blackstone inks were exceptional - I have very little left of my small collection and wish I could get more

    Great choice, and what a beautiful combination - I very much enjoyed seeing all of these - thank you

    Okay, my guess for the blue was wrong. Based on a pen pal's letter, and side-to-side testing, I thought it was Montblanc Around the World in 80 Days.
    My other pen is a Montblanc.

    Thank you so much junglejim for sending these lovely ink samples. I really enjoyed writing with both of them and it's great to add names to them. Stay safe and all the best to you too.

    That's a tough one. Maybe Diamine Gerbera or Blood Orange?
