Retro 51 Limited Edition 30th Anniversary Fountain Pen
Retro51 Limited Edition 30th Anniversary Fountain Pen
It all started thirty years ago walking into store with a tray of pens and coming out with an order. Retro didn't even have an office until July of 1990 when the lease was signed for 700 square feet in Dallas, Texas. It's hard to believe that thirty years has flown by but here we are. We thank you for your many years of business together because we could not be here without you.
To celebrate three decades of fine writing instruments we bring you this special release of the 30th Anniversary Tornado. The barrels are made from cellulose acetate in a marbled white and pearl blend that has been finished with polished rhodium accents. Choose from the twist ballpoint, capped fountain or 1.15 mm pencil. Each one is engraved with it's LE number. Cellulose acetate is known for its strength, deep gloss, and high transparency. Pen enthusiasts also covet it for its warm and “natural” feel in the hand. This is because it’s derived from organic materials found in nature, most commonly cotton or wood pulp. It should also be noted that cellulose acetate, when properly cared for, is one of the most durable and long lasting materials ever utilized in the manufacturing of fine writing instruments.
