NOODLER'S BAYSTATE BOTTLED FOUNTAIN PEN INK (3 OZ)

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 blue ink from a much earlier era. There is a bottle in the Noodler's collection of vintage inks - and the color is extremely intense. "Baystate Blue" is Noodler's conventional (waterproof) version of the classic colonial era blue based upon how the original formulas behave upon the page and taking into account the later 1940s version color intensity....but avoiding the acidity of the earlier inks through the use of different/modern components. The label depicts two giant catfish spitting ink upon the golden dome of the Massachusetts state capitol - I leave the meaning of the art work to free interpretation (once upon a time there was a little tea party....).

This ink is unique and has a different pH than other Noodler's Inks - being slightly more alkaline as indicated on the label. If you mix this ink - be careful to only mix small amounts to see how the ink behaves with other inks. That way, little will be wasted if the mix does not turn out to be as pleasing as might be hoped. This ink was not made with mixing in mind except for Baystate Concord Grape and Baystate Cape Cod Cranberry which are compatible with this particular family of inks for mixing purposes. 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. It is hoped 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!

The reintroduction of a rare (and as of recently unavailable) mid-1940s family of inks that was once very popular in the New England area has been well received by enough pen users to warrant the expansion of these inks. Despite the highly unusual nature of this ink family (particularly when Baystate Blue is compared to far weaker nondurable modern inks) many Noodler's customers have requested that it be expanded beyond "Baystate Blue".

Baystate Concord Grape and Baystate Cape Cod Cranberry can be mixed with Baystate Blue and share some of its contrast and intensity - though do not share all of its properties (Cranberry is not waterproof, and Grape is only partially water resistant - both can be removed with bleach from paper). They have more variable pH levels - and when mixed the pH can and will migrate. They should not be mixed with with any other inks EXCEPT those with the "Baystate" label. They are "exclusive to themselves" in behavior as an ink family and can be destroyed if mixed with certain iron derived European inks.

As with Baystate Blue - they have greater intensity which is often enhanced to the point of dramatic contrast on certain paper grades. So, if the ink appears "conventional" on one paper grade...try it upon a few different papers and you will soon see that it is not your average fountain pen ink. Also - if you are worried that an ink might stain a porous surface (as almost all ink - except washable - originally did exactly that before approx. 1970) you should not use the three "Baystate" colors. These inks are made for those people who can handle vintage style inks.

NOTE:
Baystate Blue is waterproof when dry.
Baystate Cape Cod Cranberry is not waterproof.
Baystate Concord Grape is only partially water resistant.
