My church glass was in wax paper. Heard that the beaver was in bubble wrap.

 

[Jiki]

My beaver was wrapped in wax paper.

COJ was bubble.

 

[iacchus]

Hummingbird was waxpaper

 

[mrknife]

its the little things in life, always appreciated the wax paper over the bubble wrap.

 

[Erik Hansen]

Just saw this when I got home from work…

 

[mrknife]

very cool and reminiscent of "lunch room special" parker jotters to pen collectors, and I guess marbles

 

[pat9198]

Those look fantastic! I'm just afraid to see the price tag.

itll be amusing to see, some places went way over on the hummingbird

Oooh, white one is so cool! People who will get those, please post a pic of what's written on the tube's top. I wonder if individual color is somehow noted there, maybe as the font color, as usual.

I can’t imagine they’d do different color names and ink color for all the variations but if they do that would be cool. My guess is they’ll all just be called “Smooth Dyed Camel Bone” in regular black ink.

We shall see though!

 

[Hoffmajo89]

I just noticed that they’re doing 7 different colors/materials for the 87s. It’s been a while since there were this many variations on a single run of a pattern!

 

[dennishy]

Wow - I was happy to sit on the sidelines, telling myself it was by choice, appreciating my 65s but the camel bone! The randomness of a mystery box always pulls at me in the most dysfunctional way.

Exactly why I jumped on one! I noticed the 87 has a much stronger fuel oil smell to the handle scales lol.

 

[OldSoul]

I like this concept. Won’t like hearing all the complainers.

"you know, that gasoline smell"

 

[Wharn]

Looks like I’ll be admiring the royal blue from afar, just got the email that CK does not have enough for my reserve.

My Coal Oil came in bubble wrap. I was a little taken aback, honestly. I don't buy many GECs these days, but that's the first one I've received that wasn't in wax paper.

I've had a few come in bubble wrap, including my Coal Oil. I'm not sure what the reasoning behind it is - I think someone said at one point that it might have been due to a shortage of wax paper at the factory.
