Anyone remember Skrip Peacock blue?

[Jon Szanto]

You know, it's funny: at first I thought I'd buy a bottle if one came available, but now that I think of it... That's a pretty color, but not one I would really use. I best sit this one out.

one bottle pls

[klpeabody]

Lol. If you want my peacock blue dealer, I can connect you.

Can your dealer connect me with some of that lovely Sheaffer Lavender that I got to sample at the pen show???
Because if they can, I'm in.....

I would definitely swap my Peacock Blue for Lavender. I don't even know what the Lavender is like, but I would still do it. I love purply inks

I'm not a "purple person", per se, but the Sheaffer Lavender really is something. =)

I have a bottle I may sell to fund MI. Very little used.

Crazyorange, what's he selling at, your friend?

He's selling it at $12 plus shipping.

[Crazyorange]

I'll email him tomorrow....see if lavender is available. I would love a bottle too. I'll find out the scoop and post.

Wow, that's a fantastic price. Is that for the 4 ounce bottle with the Skrip-Well? I like the bottle so much, with its weird but useful filling area, that I'd keep the bottle for that price, honestly. People should go for that.

Thank you!

[Crazyorange]

Yup that's the bottle. I'm wonder if we can do some sort of group buy with him. I'll find out more.

[caribbean_skye]

ooh i'd be down for peacock and lavender (depending on the price of the lavender)

[tandaina]

Goodness I'd also take a lavender if he has it!

Ok inky update.
Lots of peacock blue. Only small bottles of lavender (as in picture). Also lots of gray. No rose ink.

He's still not shipping but will keep me posted on that.

So people who want to add their name to the list...keep posting here. You'll be in peacock blue before you know it.

Squeeeee! I have one of those little bitty bottles of a lovely old gold. But the lid is stuck fast. We cannot get it open. It sits on the shelf and taunts me.

[Laura N]

Okay, mine's different. Larger, maybe older? I don't know. But I like the color scheme: University of California and University of Michigan colors.

I love the little bottle...it's so cute

Wrap the lip with that rubber mat stuff and use pliers to unscrew. The top will unscrew. Had the same problem with mine and this did the trick.

I'm guessing my bottle dates to the plant closing? It does have the glass lip inside the bottle. Yours 50/60's? Makes me wonder if it's the same color?

I'd be in for a bottle of Peacock Blue.

Laura does have an older bottle, though not the earliest packaging using the "Top Well" bottle (as evidenced by the design of the box); CO's bottle is apparently from the last run/design of the same bottle, just before the end of the plant closing (from what I understand).

Here is a quick pic of two bottles, one that pre-dates Laura's, and a later bottle that is in-between her's and CO's bottle. Somewhere I have one or two of my others that are earlier still, and have the advert for the Snorkel pens, which featured the use of the "Top Well". They also came in the 2 oz bottles, which is what we are showing (save for that lone little bottle), as well as larger, 4 oz sizes.

There is a pretty good thread over there that has a fair amount of info and eye candy if you want to look over the history of the Sheaffer "Well" bottle: Good thread on Skrip bottles

[Sailor Kenshin]

I still have a couple Peacock carts, but would be interested in a bottle!
