Picked up a mystery J. Herbin bottle from the 'estate sale find' table at the pen show! It's giving mixed messages. Missing label. 2 wax colors. The ink does look blue, and there is a gold shimmer, pictured.
I have no swatch image because I don't want to open it until I have a better idea of what it might be.
Whatcha think?
Can anybody confirm this? If it's true, all the more reason to support Jaime's quest to acquire rare text.
My 90+ grandmother insists that one must NOT run the dryer while showering, because of the "risk of shock".
Generally we work around this when she is visiting, but if you mess up and shower while the dryer is running, she will turn the dryer off and be waiting for you outside the bathroom to rip your ear off for your reckless behavior. She is generally lucid if a bit impatient, but she makes a very big deal about this.
Is there / was there historically 90-odd years ago any valid reason for this? Is it even the slightest bit plausible (however unlikely) that you could get a shock in the shower from a household appliance in another room?
