Birmingham Ink - California Raisin
(Birmingham Ink - California Raisin, swatched on a Col-O-Ring swatch card (design is a Yoseka Stationery stamp).
California Raisin from Birmingham Pen Co. is a lovely purple-blue colour. In small nibs, I do find it similar-ish to some other inks, though I find it unique enough that I’m interested in acquiring a bottle of it. It’s a standard ink with shading, and writes very well.
I’ve also included some of the more ~similar inks that I have to this, as Birmingham inks aren’t the easiest to come by.

Writing Sample
I don’t have a typical writing sampling (I accidentally used it in my journal instead, and I share a lot but not that LOL). But I do have it with a monoline nib, comparing it with other pinks and purples. California Raisin is such a fun blurple colour.
