Retro 51 Tornado Smithsonian Hummingbirds & Flowers Rollerball Pen

Partnering with the Smithsonian on a range of officially licenced writing instruments, Retro 51 are excited to show off this new addition to the limited edition series from the National Museum of the American Indian. Featuring artwork by Native American artist Dr. Shirley M. Brauker, this distinctive Tornado rollerball portrays hummingbirds flying through the native flora. Her carved approach and traditional style combine legends of the past with contemporary materials. With the design acid-etched into the barrel, echoing Brauker’s usual methods, and finished in stonewashed copper with matching trim, this striking pen helps keep the story-telling traditions alive. Utilising a capless rollerball refill the pen glides effortlessly across the page, whilst the twist action cap has knurled detailing for additional grip. The broad profile and pleasing weight make using the Tornado a real joy. As Retro 51 says “Life is too short to carry an ugly pen!”
