Retro 51 Tornado Mechanical Pencil Douglass
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.
This mechanical pencil is inspired by Frederick Douglass, the abolitionist and orator who was born into slavery and escaped at the age of 21. The engraved barrel features a stonewashed pewter finish and copper trim, an eraser-tipped knurled twist-action button at the end to extend the lead, and a slotted metal pocket clip. It's supplied with spare leads and erasers in a vintage-themed cylinder which doubles as a pencil stand as well as a protective case.
Refill with 1.15mm leads.
Orders placed before 3pm Monday to Friday will normally be sent out the same day.
