[QUOTE="Carlos, post: 538710, member: 7"] I cannot put my hand on the bottle at the moment. As I recall, it has an image of T.E. Lawrence and his motorcycle. Many of us know that old motorcycles leaked oil. In the case of my BSA 650 twin, it was purposely leaking to oil the drive chain. Of course oil quickly turns black in those older vehicles with the amount of blow-by of the rings. My bottle sure isn't black. Speaking of blacks. The only one mentioned in that article I do have experience with is, Borealis Black. I am not really a black ink person. I love blue-black's. Borealis Black is a black black. With a shimmering sort of quality. I should use it more. Old Manhattan always confuses me. Because it's a limited edition, and I have it in blue. But it's called Manhattan Blue, or Blue Manhattan. Depending upon the vintage. A nice shading blue that almost is a blue-black. I keep forgetting that Old Manhattan is a black. I think the story behind them was something like recreating popular 1940's ink colors. I could be confusing that with another series. [/QUOTE]
