Please inquire about changes to the shipping method or ask any questions before purchasing. Used item. It's difficult to see how much ink is left, but most are less than half full. The Marie pen's color is too dark to check. It appears to be from 2008. Tinkerbell's ink was originally a light green. I've tested the pens on paper that doesn't bleed with fountain pen ink, so recycled paper, etc., will cause bleeding.
