Hi gang
Just wondering how many in the group are keen with regard to collecting ink bottles, wells, etc., and also printed material? It started as a small 'sub' collection for me, but it growing steadily... today was a BIG day.\
In particular, I was given today - generously by a professional friend of mine - an old pamphlet entitled: A few notes on MANDARIN Drawing Inks (by; Winsor & Newton, Ltd. London. I’ve scoured their website but couldn’t find it anywhere, so have contacted them. I have already gotten a response to say they have received my email and are scouring their historical documentation to attempt to advise me more.
I also picked up: 2 x Swan Ink bottles (one full); 2 x Waterman bottles; and 1 x Angus & Co. (Melbourne, Australia) very small full bottle of 'Rubber Stamp Ink Pad Ink'
I have added the photo's to one of my albums (and have noticed I didn't photograph my 'little' Swan bottle, so about to do that before I head for bed.)
