A message from Robert Oster about this ink:
"African Gold was developed to offer our support for WorldVision in Ethiopia on behalf of our community of ink enthusiasts." A portion of the sale of each bottle of ink is donated to WorldVision. For more information about WorldVision, you can check out their website at www.WorldVision.org
My great interest in fountain pen inks – and by extension inks that combine many creative applications – began with the birth of my love of fountain pens in 1989.
As Robert Oster Signature Inks are quite recent to the market, think of the interim between 1989 and today, as the fertile ground into which my present love of all things ink was seeded and grown.
The contents and packaging of my Inks are all nature friendly and the colours a genuine inventory of the Australian palette.
Robert Oster Signature originates from one of the most famous wine producing regions of the world, the Coonawarra district of South Australia, an idyllic setting with great influence on the senses. There is my inspiration. It’s a joy to share it with you.

Customer Reviews
This is my first ink from Robert Oster. I have only written a little bit with it, but so far I can tell that I like it very much. The color is very nice. Thanks very much Goulet Pen Co.
Such a beautiful shading ink in my Jinhao X159 in a fine point. One of my favorite inks.
Flows well, dries fairly quickly. I got this to try and match a ink with a brass pen. It actually does this perfectly. With the shading it kind of looks like a brass that is getting patina, just like the pen.
I really love this ink, but I found it works better with a medium nib- it's almost too light with an extra fine.
The ink looks great but I did not try writing with it as I purchased it as a gift.
