Parker Quink with Solv-X

I came by a bottle with packaging of Quink Black with Solv-X made in France.

Now can the ink be used or is it just a collectible?

So where does one go with a question like this? The Fountain Pen Network of course and two members rang in with no bad smell, no nasties floating around, swirl it around with a stick, and if it passes all these tests, it's a go.

It smells fine. Tomorrow in the light of day, I'll plunge a skewer into the bottle and see if I can get anything fishy.
