The trunk is really cool, but looks like there’s quite a bit of mold inside in the lining. You may want to do something about that, exposure to mold can lead to health problems. Oh and if you want a fun, simple sewing project, you can make a pen wiper for your dip pen! Just cut scraps of cotton fabric in the same size and shape, stack them and sew them together in the middle (with a button, if you have a nice one). More sustainable than paper, and can be made entirely out of recycled materials!
I agree with most of what your saying, but mold in different countries act differently. Especially countries that are extremely easily prone to mold tend to have mold that isn't directly affecting to someone's health. However I don't know if that's the case for Ruby
In the UK mold isn’t a big deal because we don’t have drastic heat. I personally don’t think she has anything to worry about. We’ve have a bit of mold in our House ,as it is old, and we have had no health issues or anything wrong with us and our family has been living here for about 40 years. As the other comment mentions its acts differently in different climates. But everything else you said i 100% agree with.
As a non native , i learn alot from Ruby's short historical facts and names of these vintage items , i wish you would share more unique short facts in the future as you always do , such as : the tea party ,victorian letters and the dash ,and these blotting papers and so on ..
i love hearing about the sustainability of the victorian period! it's hard knowing now whether modern brands are actually committed to sustainability or just greenwashing. i may also have to look on e-bay for some victorian school supplies (or at least buy new ink cartridges for my fountain pens)
Finding used antique nibs that are still intact is a bit of a surprise really. Older inks were corrosive, which meant nibs rusted and had to be replaced fairly often. They were commonly priced and sold by the dozen in advertisements for that reason. The ink was acidic and contained dissolved iron ions. With exposure to air, the iron oxidized and prciptated onto and withn the paper's surface, forming a permanent bond with a lightfast pigment. Creating the pigment after the ink is applied, prevents clogging of the pen which can happen with inks made from suspended pigments. Over time the acid corrodes the paper creating a filigree effect in old documents. So to protect your antique nibs, don't use acidic inks without washing the nibs afterwards. They are referred to as iron gall inks if I remember correctly.
It's pretty common to find new-old stock of nibs, especially from the more common manufacturers. But sometimes, if the previous owner took good care of their nibs, you can find great quality nibs from the 1900s. I've inherited some of my grandpas old nibs and nib-holders, and they are far superior to what is made today.
I like to use unused ones, as they end up molding to your handwriting. Especially useful if you are like me and have some motor control issues. Ooly's Splendid Pen is also great for that.
@@matildas3177 No such luck inheriting pens for me I'm afraind. The first pen holder I had, I pulled out of the snow while walking on campus. It was plastic with a cork grip stained with ink. Dropped by an art student I suppose. I was curious, so bought some nibs and ink at the bookstore, and gave it a try while journaling. I found it a great help for overcoming writer's block. Focusing on penmanship, diffuses the anxiety of writing. It makes it play not work. Just write words and ideas until the ideas connect into a pattern. Then you can find a thesis and start building paragraphs. Don't feel you have to start at the beginning. In fact it works best if you write the introduction last so you know what you are introducing. Write paragraphs, then arrange them in logical order. Don't feel bad if a paragraph does not fit into the essay you are writing. Save it for later. Eventually you will find an essay where it does fit.
*Most great accomplishments were achieved by the people, who at first had no idea what they were doing.* Keep going my friend. I am cheering for you. 🙂
This is the kind of video I've been waiting for! I'm a fountain pen enthusiast and use my pens for a lot of penpalling. I'm so pleased you are using cartridge convertors now- I recommend using a bulb syringe to help clean out your pens between ink colours. Aurora Borealis is one of my favourite Diamine inks and Monboddos Hat was actually designed by this amazing Facebook group that I am part of called Fountain Pen UK. It's such a wonderful supportive group- so I highly recommend joining if you enjoy using fountain pens!
Hello Ruby! I just wanted to congratulate you on your character and uniqueness. There are not many people out there, especially on the internet, that still value the antiques besides the collectors, obviously, and you seem to be a great role model for young people to have! I have Ben watching your videos for a while now and I am really glad that you publish content that encourages people to read a lot more! Keep on with the good work and I wish you the best and most productive school year! All the love
I’ve been using a paperlike screen protector for about three years now and so far I haven’t noticed any changes on my Apple Pencil. I do think you’re right and the paperlike slowly breaks down the nib but I guess it would only be noticeable after a very long time of constant use
When you haul out the trunk & my brain goes “ I need to re-read all of Malory Towers, Trebizon & Chalet School NOW” 😂 Loved the bit about fountain-pen history at the end but the whole video was a treat! Thank you & all the best for the new term/year. 👩🏼🏫👩🏼💻🧳📚🖋
Hi Ruby! I also wanted the PaperLike screen protector but because of the price point, I went ahead and bought a matt screen protector instead because it does have 'grit' on it similar to the PaperLike but it doesn't reduce the quality of the iPad screen. If you ever do want to try another alternative, give it a try! Great video, by the way, have a wonderful week
I've just refilled my pen with Monboddo's Hat and will use Writer's Blood when the leaves start to change and I can wear a jumper. Diamine Eau de Nil is another lovely colour as is Sherwood Green. XXX I really love choosing ink xxx
I highly recommend Diamine's Ancient Copper if you're ever interested in a brown with that same colour-changing aspect as Aurora Borealis! My LAMY is inked up with it currently and I can't get enough of it.
A tip on refilling the reusable ink cartridges (I saw the way you filled them up, and I had tried that too, but the ink then wouldn't come out of the fountain pen): - stick the empty cartridge into the pen - stick the nib of the pen into your ink pot (completely submerge the nib) - screw down the thingy on the cartridge so that the air gets pushed out - screw it back up so that the ink gets sucked up into the cartridge - wipe the excess ink off the nib And you should be good to go :)
I had the same feeling with the ipad with a paper like screen protector. For note taking I’ve bought the “ remarkable 2.0” after a long time of thinking about it. Honestly, I love it so much. I use it for personal things and professional. I highly recommend it.
I have a ‘paper like’ screen protector for my iPad, however it’s just a cheap alternative from Amazon and I didn’t really notice and reduce in quality at all!
Hi Ruby! I really love your vintage aesthetic and vibe! As a college student, I am motivated to be productive with the beautiful stationery as you are!
Hi Ruby I know this is random but this video has really helped me visualise Jane Eyre writing her formal advertisements for a new job, its my favourite novel of all time so this video brought me a lot of joy and a weird sense of nostalgia! Much love
Also be careful with that screen protector! I have one similar and it will slowly break down the tip of the Apple Pencil over time and you’ll have to replace it. Although, I still think it’s worth it as I have taken notes exclusively on it since I purchased the iPad.
I tried the iPad for a good 5 to 6 months without the paper-like screen protector and I have to say I hatted it. I personally think if you are planing on using it for school/uni on a regular basis, it’s 100% worth it. For me it really makes a difference when it comes to write on screen. But it dose change screen quality, thats true. 😊
I like Sarasa pens a lot & have bought them here in the States at stores that sell them along with standards such as Papermate. I surely hope I won't ever have to pay s&h to order by mail. I'm a lefty & they're one of the few pens that don't smear as my fingers travel across the page plus they come in great colors. That's the bugaboo as far as writing with traditional fountain pens as the ink smears as I write. My trunk is hardly an antique, a gift from my mother to pack my things in when I went to college in the '70s. But it's held up well & now sits at the foot of my bed to store sheets & blankets. I have a fairly old typewriter I have saved, but can't find anyone that repairs them anymore.
If you dip the nib of the pen in the ink, then start twisting the cartridge converter, the ink will come up through the feed and into the cartridge. This works better than filling up the converter first & then putting it in the pen :)
I really enjoyed watching it . the sounds of writing , the old theme of video just took me to 18 century Of England . you are sunch an actor who can take the hands of the audience to another world of wonder 🌹🌷🌻thanks for sharing them with us . From Iran 🌸
I’ve been using the paperlike protector for over a year now and at first the quality drop and slight color noise is very noticeable but it’s definitely something you get used to. I guess you have to decide for yourself if it’s worth it for you - i use my iPad mainly for drawing and having the paper feel made such a big difference for me because I cannot stand drawing on glas. I might try some other brands in the future but I don’t think I could live without one at all anymore tbh
A classmate of mine ordered such a screen protector for her iPad and the tip of her apple pen wore down really fast! Maybe consider ordering some spare tips if you keep using the screen protector.
Thanks for the advices about the paperlike screen protector. I'm thinking about getting an Ipad and with that, the paperlike. But you conviced me to have a "normal" one just for reading lecture on pdf are watching lectures. You are awsome and so unique! Lots of love from Annecy in France
@@truceserum6238 Thank you so much for your advice! It's really useful for me, so thank you again! I might take the paperlike and the clear one if I'm comfortable or not with it, I will try!

This video was SOOOOO good!! Somehow managed to make me look forward to the upcoming semester! Now I have another goal added to encourage me to work harder ❤️✨ thank you so much Ruby ❤️❤️❤️
Such a great and unique stationary haul and thank you for your honest opinion on the paperlike screen protector (I was contemplating whether to get it or not myself)!
@@winterwolf1111 Aww thanks! I hope I didn't come across as offensive, just had to share it since it was basically a textbook example for the concept :D
@@CHarlotte-ro4yi no don't worry it didn't! I would've used the exact same logic as Ruby, and it was so interesting to hear an economics-based counter argument! :)
I'd love to see you write on your iPad more but I do understand how you feel about the paperlike screen protector It doesn't feel too much like writing on paper but I like the feel of it more than without a matte screen.
Brilliant video, is your writing slope antique? It looks to be in fantastic condition. Love the fact that you've found antique stationery for this academic year, love the new ink colours.
Oh My Gosh, Ruby! All of the stuff you got is so incredulously cool! To be fair I am a little jealous about the trunk and scissors but i am really hoping you are enjoying them. I too have a habit of collecting old and vintage things such as a British bullet canister, a very old leatherbound versions of The Grimms Fairy Tales and The Merchant Of Venice Textbook that was kindy sprawled with notes by my Great-Grandfather. But I loved the video. Cheers!
I was required to use a fountain pen in school, from second grade onward. For a left handed person, well, it was absolute hell, I got many, many beatings for being left handed and making a mess,.and even more trouble at home for smearing ink up the sleeve of my uniform blouse all the way from cuff to elbow. In high school we were allowed to use ballpoint pens. Thank God. My knuckles were finally able to heal.
Hey just a thought: I’ve got an iPad Pro and haven’t noticed a difference in the display quality with or without the paper like screen protector, so I think it has more to do with the display quality of the iPad to begin with. Regardless, in my opinion I think the pros outweigh the cons concerning the screen protector, I couldn’t live without it
I do not need any more inks! I do not need any more inks! I do not need any more inks! If I say it often enough I might believe it. That Aurora Borealis and Mondoddos Hat look interesting.
Ruby I want you to know that you are my inspiration and you're the one who got me into reading you introduced me to a whole new world I will always be grateful towards you!!! Ilysm 🥺 also you are just like meeee and that is soooo amazingggggg, you inspire me all the time!!
I also think a good substitute for vintage stationary and such could be purchasing handmade and commissioned things from Etsy. They are usually small businesses who make sure their products are high quality so they won't lose customers and get bad reviews. And as always, let your money speak for you by deciding carefully where you spend your money!
The paperlike does pretty much the same to an Ipad as an anti glare protector.Think on a Kindle screen or some laptops screen ( mine has it). I actually love the difference. While the image can look somehow less quality the strain in the eyes is reduced for me.

I can definitely put more facts like this into my videos! I love including them and I'm genuinely so glad you like and learn from them :))x

@@RubyGranger8 ruby we literally need a whole series on them
It is such a nice idea to incorporate facts like these into a haul, I really enjoyed it and I think I will look into some of the topics soon! :)
Writing letters with ink called 'Writer's Blood' has got to be the most dark academia thing ever 😂

✨Ruby always puts a smile on my face✨
For other ppl that want a paper feel screen protector: you can get a matte one for like £7 that doesn’t reduce quality at all
Omgggggg this is all so dreamy. Absolute stationary goals. So lovely to see such a well curated collection, where did you find a lot of it 💗
completely agree to you!
idk why but the trunk creeps me out a bit :o
Also be careful with that screen protector! I have one similar and it will slowly break down the tip of the Apple Pencil over time and you’ll have to replace it. Although, I still think it’s worth it as I have taken notes exclusively on it since I purchased the iPad.
I read that you can put a nib cover on top of the pencil so it breaks down the cover instead 😌
*Don't be afraid to start all over again.*
*This time you are not starting from scratch.*
*You are starting from experience.* 📚

You made me interested in the Victorian period and all these unique thinks,I like your videos thank you
i learn so much from your videos! you never fail to motivate me, and I absolutely love your aesthetic
Writers Blood is a fan favorite. I think all fountain pen enthusiasts have this one. It’s really terrific.
EARLYEARLY EEEKK!! IM EXCITED TO WATCH THE WHOLE VIDEO!!
I love u ruby u changed my life and u always inspired me 😖😖💛💛💛💛!!! LOVE YOUUU !!!
I have those two refillable ink cartridges. One I keep in my vintage 50+ year old Parker fountain pen that was my grandfathers.
I really identify with your passion. Thanks for sharing it with us.
I like Sarasa pens a lot & have bought them here in the States at stores that sell them along with standards such as Papermate. I surely hope I won't ever have to pay s&h to order by mail. I'm a lefty & they're one of the few pens that don't smear as my fingers travel across the page plus they come in great colors. That's the bugaboo as far as writing with traditional fountain pens as the ink smears as I write. My trunk is hardly an antique, a gift from my mother to pack my things in when I went to college in the '70s. But it's held up well & now sits at the foot of my bed to store sheets & blankets. I have a fairly old typewriter I have saved, but can't find anyone that repairs them anymore.
Lovely video, I love the intricacy in the details of Victorian everyday objects.
If you dip the nib of the pen in the ink, then start twisting the cartridge converter, the ink will come up through the feed and into the cartridge. This works better than filling up the converter first & then putting it in the pen :)

Ruby I want you to know that you are my inspiration and you're the one who got me into reading you introduced me to a whole new world I will always be grateful towards you!!! Ilysm 🥺 also you are just like meeee and that is soooo amazingggggg, you inspire me all the time!!

I also think a good substitute for vintage stationary and such could be purchasing handmade and commissioned things from Etsy. They are usually small businesses who make sure their products are high quality so they won't lose customers and get bad reviews. And as always, let your money speak for you by deciding carefully where you spend your money!
I love your enthusiasm for learning - very inspiring.
What a wonderful surprise to wake up to :)
Thanks for making this.
Soooo STUNNING
The history of the fountain pen bit was interesting!
The paperlike does pretty much the same to an Ipad as an anti glare protector.Think on a Kindle screen or some laptops screen ( mine has it). I actually love the difference. While the image can look somehow less quality the strain in the eyes is reduced for me.
