I’ve got the pen in the middle and I find sniffing the inside of the barrel extremely satisfying :-)
It looks like Platinum 3776 Celluloid. At least mine is. It’s made of celluloid and smells nicely (of camphor).
I think it looks similar: https://imgur.com/a/afZteve :-) no idea how they would look next to each other.
Camphor is a good smell. I think some celluloid pens smell better than others, tbh. I have had… mixed results, lol.
I used to do this, but I am drowning in way too many inks now to color match all the time lol
I often match maroon ink to maroon pen. Otherwise, I do it less often than I used to as I'm mainly using permanent inks now (not as many available colors).
Where I can, of course. Right now I've got Tsutsuji in a Safari and Party Time in an Al Star. The rest are random combinations. I've yet to find a pen I like that plays well with Hana Ikada, or Pink Sugar Beach.
Probably because I need more pens, and more ink.
