Retro 51 Tornado Ballpoint Pen, 30th Anniversary, Pearl
Limited Edition Celebrating Retro 51's "Pearl" 30th Anniversary
Serial #9
To celebrate three decades of fine writing instruments, Retro 51 brings 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. A total of 1951 pieces (assorted among the ballpen, pencil and fountain pen) have been produced with each one 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.
The pen is fitted with a smooth flowing EasyFlow ballpoint refill that is retracted with the Retro 51 patented knurl twist-top. Gift boxed in Retro 51 pearl finish gift tube that doubles as a pen stand. Retro 51 model number VBP-1951.
