They gave Mark Twain the designation "Kermesin (scarlet)Red" and probably wanted to change that once they made one for Sir Arthur. dianebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13856902356103585311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-162505706073664121.post-14609215066648652342012-11-26T17:18:41.373-05:002012-11-26T17:18:41.373-05:00Just FYI, I believe Doyle's color is Oriental ...Just FYI, I believe Doyle's color is Oriental Red in nod to the first Holmes story, "A Study in Scarlet."Jayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07450919399407519624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-162505706073664121.post-15831243486188004672011-07-09T11:29:00.988-04:002011-07-09T11:29:00.988-04:00Where can one purchase this ink?
