Noodler's V-Mail Ink - North African Violet - WWII Era

Noodler’s

V-Mail

Fountain Pen Ink

3 oz Bottle

Made in U.S.A.

North African Violet

NEW!

This listing is for a 3 oz. bottle of Noodler’s fountain pen ink in North African Violet. The ink is from Noodler’s new V-Mail series of colors. The series is inspired by the Victory Mail from WWII and the vintage inks from that period. During WWII V-Mail was subjected to B&W microfilming so black was the only ink needed for letters, but it wouldn’t be very interesting if Noodler’s just offered another black ink. The V-Mail inks from Noodler’s come in seven exciting ink colors. The ink isn’t Bulletproof but it is very durable [and probably would have been classed as being “permanent” in the 1940s]. While this ink is inspired by old ink formulas it is completely modern Noodler’s chemistry. This 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 V-Mail labels cover 3 ¾ sides of the bottle and display a variety of WWII era bombers and planes in overhead silhouettes.

This ink is all U.S. made and boasts Archival, Anti-Forgery and Anti- Feathering tendencies – but it is NOT Bulletproof. The ink is specifically designed for fountain pen use.

V-Mail stands for Victory Mail. It was based on the similar British "Airgraph" system for delivering mail between those at home in the United States and troops serving abroad during World War II. V-mail correspondence worked by photographing large amounts of censored mail reduced to thumbnail size onto reels of microfilm, which weighed much less than the original would have. The film reels were shipped by priority air freight (when possible) to the US, sent to prescribed destinations for enlarging at a receiving station near the recipient, and printed out on lightweight photo paper. These facsimiles of the letter-sheets were reproduced about one-quarter the original size and the miniature mail was delivered to the addressee.

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.
