Noodler's Bernanke Blue Ink

Noodler's Bernanke Blue is a royal blue fountain pen ink. It is a fast-drying ink, perfect for left-handed writers who struggle with normal ink and fountain pens. It comes presented in a 3oz (approximately 90ml) glass bottle.

Ben Bernanke is the former chairman of the US Federal Reserve, so this fast drying ink was ideal for all the money that needs to be printed and cheques (checks!) that need to be signed to help deal with the debt crisis he faced during his time in office.

The ink is not waterproof or bulletproof - Nathan Tardif from Noodler's said this was because he hoped Ben Bernanke was not permanent either (he wasn't...)!

Noodler's Ink is a small American company run by Nathan Tardif in Southern Massachusetts, USA. The Noodler's Ink Co. is best known for their massive range of colours, the unique and largely hand drawn bottle label artwork and unique properties of their inks. Nathan Tardif is best known for his political views and historical knowledge, which often spills over into the names and labels of his inks.

The name Noodler's comes from a technique of catching catfish by hand. Noodling involves wading into the water and feeling around for small crevasses and catching the catfish who have backed themselves inside by holding onto the outside edges of their open mouth. Nathan says it is the ultimate battle between man and beast and your bank balance and social standing have no bearing on your ability. The catfish can be seen on all the ink bottles packaging.

The glass bottles are simple and affordable and the cardboard boxes are recycled.

N.B - The bottles are VERY full, so be careful when opening them!
