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.
The Concord Grape ink color can be mixed with
Baystate Blue and share some of its contrast and intensity - though this ink is only partially waterproof and can be removed with bleach from
paper. It has a more variable pH level - and when mixed the pH can
and will migrate. You should not mix 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.
