Retro 51 Tornado Vintage Metalsmith Frederick Douglass Rollerball / Ballpoint

The Retro 51 Tornado Vintage Metalsmith Douglass is a tribute to Frederick Douglass, an American social reformer, abolitionist and statesman. Born a slave, he escaped at 20 years old and became a national leader of the abolitionist movement in Massachusetts and New York. He was most famous for his oratory and incisive antislavery writings.

The portrait of Douglass can be found on the finial and the storage tube. 

The 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.
