Retro 51 Tornado Vintage Metalsmith Harriet Tubman Rollerball / Kugelschreiber

Harriet Tubman is one of America’s most iconic figures, inspiring whole generations. Tubman was an escaped slave, who, in the face of unrelenting danger, courageously risked her own life, using the Underground Railroad network to help her relatives and other slaves find freedom. During her travels she was known for having "never lost a passenger." 

This Tornado rollerball pays homage to Harriet Tubman. The design reproduces the pattern from a headscarf in one of her most well-known photos. The stainless barrel has a lightly textured base coat with the distinctive pattern printed on top and is finished with antique silver trim. Her portrait sits proudly on the finial. Each pen is packaged in a commemorative tube. May all who write with this pen be moved by Tubman's daring, courage and generosity.

A Retro 51 Tornado Pen can easily be converted from rollerball to ballpoint by changing the refill. The Retro 51 Tornado pens use a Retro 51 rollerball refill (included) or standard international ballpoint refill.

Retro 51 abides by the motto that "Life is too short to carry an ugly pen!" The company is based in Dallas, Texas, and produces fashionable gift items that combine modern design with vintage quality.
