This ink exhibits a rose halo on certain papers on both sides of the line, as well as exhibiting darker shading on the edges of lines where the tine of the nib touches the page or a side of an italic nib lays a firmer line. It is approximately 16% “bulletproof” and is made up of dyes with multiple properties in order to generate the various shading and different tones under various light sources (it will look … [Read more...]
Having met the Senator Elect some time ago and knowing how incredibly frustrating it is for any challenger in a Massachusetts election to win or even be given a chance by the pundits (you see, Massachusetts senate elections were - until recently - all quite pre-determined affairs having little to do with any democratic contest)....and having seen many a race without so much as a challenger on the ballot from the almost … [Read more...]
GI Green has been reformulated into a darker and more durable green with improved multi-spectrum shading. It is no longer as close a replica to the conventional green of the war years that it was originally based upon. It is now slightly less true to the historic accuracy of the "government issue green" color of the "regular" uniform and classic army Willys jeep - but it is hoped the utility to the modern user has been … [Read more...]
After receiving feedback from customers, Polar Brown has been made a more conventional color - though still a completely bulletproof, freeze resisting, lubricated ink - it is now a striking dark brown ink. It remains extremely durable, but now has the more conservative color most of our customers requested that it become. The older version bi-gravity Polar Brown with the "orange halo flames" is being phased out (both due … [Read more...]
These inks are in the same line as "Bad Blue Heron" only they represent further and more durable developments in the hindering of potential new tools of forgers discovered by the Yale scholar Nicholas Masluk. To defeat new forms of forgery using modern technology and advanced forms of document alteration has required great efforts on the part of the company to research and develop the means to prevent such abuse of … [Read more...]
The “Dragon Series” highlighter inks are named in reference to their label artwork – depicting a serpentine catfish dragon…something mythical and strange as are the effects in different reflected light sources of these inks. * While supplies last (WSL) there will be a few 16 oz bottles available – and also WSL every bottle issued of these three inks after August 14th, 2009 will include a lithium powered black … [Read more...]
These are all vintage replica inks that exhibit classic period ink behaviors with mild (when compared to our modern bulletproof and eternal inks) water resistance upon the page (particularly after the passage of time, a week or so or more upon the page will increase the ability to resist water). Please bear in mind these are classic style inks and will NOT exhibit the durability of the more modern eternal and bulletproof … [Read more...]
A few weeks ago we obtained some dated, sealed, and viable vintage area inks with extremely patriotic labels (this, to us - is a rare opportunity to examine earlier industrial history first hand!). Many referenced "V-mail", a term that seems to have begun in WW I. These were dated from 1939 to 1945 – and of course began in earnest after Dec. 7th, 1941 with the patriotic WW II themes. With those inks as models and a … [Read more...]
In the classic American country landscape, when one is really bad...one soon finds themselves on a chain gang. Blue Herons sometimes eat catfish alive (as has been witnessed first hand), snapping turtles tear catfish apart, and alligators snap them down without a thought. Such treatment of the Noodler's Ink mascot is reprehensible behavior - and thus these regrettable characters make up the new "Warden's Ink Series". It … [Read more...]
Noodler's received numerous requests for a "Periwinkle" eternal ink over the past few years. There were several prototypes sent to a handful of retailers - and it was frustrating to see how many divergent views exist of what a "periwinkle" color truly is.... Of course, I always thought of "periwinkle" as being the color of the blue curve of a periwinkle snail's shell - being in New England. Alas - some think of the … [Read more...]
