Noodler’s

Fountain Pen Ink

Made in U.S.A.

Baystate BLUE

Waterproof

NEW!!!

WATERPROOF! -- Noodler’s identifies this ink as “Waterproof”, though they have NOT indicated that it is “Bulletproof” and/or “Eternal”.

At the end of World War II a colonial style blue ink was made in Boston, Massachusetts. Similar to a cobalt blue - though not an acid ink, it replicated an extremely intense blue ink from a much earlier era.

Baystate Blue is Noodler's conventional version of the classic colonial era blue with the color intensity of the later 1940s version.... all this but avoiding the acidity of the earlier inks through the use of different/modern components.

This ink was not made with mixing in mind. This ink is unique and has a different pH than other Noodler's Inks – being slightly more alkaline as indicated on the label. The penetration rate and dry time are classic - though should not require the use of blotting paper and pounce powders unless one requires instant dry times. The manufacturer hopes that when you place the pen to the page - this color jumps out before your eyes with that vibrancy of the rebellious inks mad King George so vehemently disliked!

This listing is for a 3 oz. bottle of Noodler’s ink in Baystate Blue. The product is new, current product directly from the manufacturer. The bottle is glass with a distinctive Noodler’s label, and an outside Noodler’s box. The label depicts two giant catfish spitting ink upon the golden dome of the Massachusetts state capitol.

This ink is all U.S. made – ink, bottle, cap, printing & packaging

Why is it called "Noodler's"?

The manufacturer considers this ink the best and most cost effective ink on the market for fountain pens. The product is 100% U.S. made from cap to glass to ink. The catfish on the label is a metaphor for a southern fishing sport that attempts to equalize the struggle between man and animal in the quest for a sense of fair play...and symbolizes for Noodler’s a fair price.

Colors

Noodler’s provides over 40 colors of ink for your fountain pen plus some specialty inks. We attempt to have all the colors in stock and in our eBay store, GreenMan508. Please note that due to computer imaging and the difficulty of matching true ink color in the digital world - the ink colors shown here are only to be used as a general reference.

Archival Quality, Anti-Forgery & Anti- Feathering

All Noodler's inks provide archival quality. The inks are color-rich with an undiluted quality. Besides providing a written image that will last with your valuable documents, the intensity of Noodler’s inks makes forgery extremely difficult. (Noodler’s even has a $1,000 reward for the first person that can safely remove Noodler's [black] ink from a security bank check). Ink feathering resistance is also a priority for Noodler's -- thus with their ink you can use it on newspaper crossword & Sudoku puzzles, most recycled smooth papers, and even cardboard, industrial brown paper, rice paper and tissue thin papers from the Far East. Feathering has been virtually eliminated (maybe not paper towels).

For New and Vintage Fountain Pens

Noodler’s is very proud of the qualities their inks provide. Some of these qualities relate to how Noodler’s inks interact with the mechanics of your pen. These inks are designed for use with any fountain pen – new or vintage. Any brand of ink can attack pen parts because all inks generally are corrosive agents. Noodler’s technology has lessened this factor to protect the value of your writing instruments. For example aluminum has been used in many pen brands over the years and still today. Aluminum is relatively unstable with exposure to many ink brands… Noodler’s is friendly to aluminum [and other pen materials]. Test your ink and Noodler's with a piece of aluminum foil – leave the ink in contact with the foil overnight and see what the results are. You better replace your ink with Noodler’s if your ink eats the aluminum foil (vintage some European inks currently made are conspicuous culprits).
