Retro 51 Smithsonian Rollerball Pen Bijutsukai
As Retro 51 puts it, 'Life is too short to carry an ugly pen'. And we agree. Their bright colours and cool designs have more than a hint of nostalgia about them, and all their pens are made with good old-fashioned values in mind.
The Smithsonian range celebrates the contents of the world's largest museum's archives and library. This retractable rollerball features a lacquer-coated steel barrel with a design inspired by the Shin-Bijutsukai, a Japanese design magazine produced during the early years of the 20th century. There is a knurled metal twist-action button at the end, to extend the tip, and a slotted metal pocket clip. It's supplied in a themed cylinder which doubles as a pen stand as well as a protective case.
Refill with standard pattern Parker style refills.
Orders placed before 3pm Monday to Friday will normally be sent out the same day.
