Retro 51 Tornado Classic Lacquer 25th Anniversary Rollerball Pen, Origin

Description

Retro 51 Tornado Classic Lacquer 25th Anniversary Rollerball Pen, Origin
25 years ago, Retro51 introduced a new pen — the Tornado™. These pens were made in three lacquer colors: red, blue and green. Little did we know the impact that these retractable rollerballs with a knurled top would have. Since 1997, Retro 51 has expanded the Tornado collection to include additional colors and new series such as the Vintage Metalsmith, Brass Classics, Rescue line, Poppers, Dealer Exclusives and licensed partnerships.
We are electrified to add a new Tornado special release to our collection and yours—the
Origin
. In honor of the first three Tornado pens, this pen is made up of a series of horizontal lines cascading down the cream barrel in the three original colors. The pen is finished with chrome accents and a finial that includes the same style as the barrel with a red 25 in the center. This pen is a must have for fans from the beginning, a great introduction for newer fans, and a soon to be keepsake for everyone.
This is a limited edition of 997 rollerballs so make sure to add one to your collection before they fly off the shelves. Do not miss out on your chance to see where it all began with the Tornado Origin.
This Retro 51 pen features a stainless steel body with a high gloss lacquer overlay.
The pen is fitted with a smooth flowing rollerball refill that is retracted with its patented knurl twist-top. Replace the rollerball with any readily available Parker-style ballpoint refill and your Tornado is now a ballpoint pen. You'll find the Retro 51 REF5P-B refill and Schmidt P900 ballpoint refill for this pen in our store under Refills. Gift packed in the Retro 51 tube that also doubles as a pen stand.
