Retro 51 Tornado US Post Office Series Rollerball Pen, Route Master

Description

Retro 51 Tornado Rollerball Pen, Route Master
From the US Postal Service Collection
This Tornado rollerball has an acid-etched barrel with the light texture paneling and rivets seen on the vintage USPS vehicles. The metal barrels are then printed with the iconic eagle logo and vehicle markings complete with gloss black trim topped with another Eagle icon on the finial. Each one is loaded in the USPS branded tube to store your Retro when it's not in use. Pick up this new licensed design to start delivering great ideas at home and the office.
It is Retro 51’s honor to partner with the USPS on a series of pens spotlighting the Post Office, its history and story.  From the Pony Express to modern Electric Vehicles, the United States Post Office has a proud tradition of delivering the mail to even the most remote regions of the country. The Route Master evokes the iconic vintage postal vehicles of yesteryear. The Red, White and Blue along with the historic eagle logo harken back to a simpler time and remind us how vital the United States Postal Service is.
It 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 both the Retro 51 REF5P capless rollerball refill and Schmidt P900 ballpoint refill for this pen in our store under Refills. Gift packed in matching commemorative Retro 51 gift tube that doubles as a pen stand.
