It's nice to see that products I remember from the 1990s are still in production, assuming they are the same formulae.
I honestly don't trust any company anymore, not even the ones which have been in business for over a century, because in the modern era, #neoliberalism #neofeudalism has destroyed trust and integrity.

Going over my old #artsupplies, I have come up with two Speedball pen holders, and four pens: two Hunt 513EF Globe, one Hunt 512 Ex-Fine, and one Eagle 830 Bulb Point. All of these are at least 30 years old, the Eagle could be decades older, because we had a lot of old stock of pencils and steel pens at the store where I worked. Next, I have to get the old cigar box full of inks from the 1990s, and see if any of them are usable. My suspicion is no, thinking back to the last time I checked them.
