Then There Was "Peacock Blue" Ink
The nuns grudgingly tolerated ball-point pens, and only in
emergencies, preferred that we use fountain pens, and insisted on blue or black ink. 1950s. There was a brand called "Skrip." After using blue, black, blue-black, and royal blue, it was a real kick to learn that Skrip made a flavor called "Peacock Blue" which was a gorgeous turquoise. So the whole damn school started using it. It's a miracle that the nuns tolerated it, because they liked to rain on your parade. If something made you happy, they usually prohibited it. Little pleasures and freedoms were few-and-far-between. The most amazing thing about those days of fountain pens in elementary school was that no one, as best I can recall, spilled a bottle of ink. Otherwise there would've been an execution. |
