Retro 51 Tornado 25th Anniversary Origin Rollerball / Ballpoint

25 years ago, Retro51 introduced a new pen — the Tornado™. These pens were made in three lacquer colors: red, blue and green. Little did they know the impact that these retractable rollerballs with a knurled top would have. Since 1997, Retro51 have 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. 

Retro51 is electrified to add a new Tornado special release to their 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.

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.
