Retro 51 Tornado Vintage Metalsmith Fountain Pen Nikola Tesla

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 Vintage Metalsmith features a lacquer-coated steel barrel in a range of unique throw-back designs. This one is dedicated to futurist, inventor and engineer Nikola Tesla, whose inventions are still being used today. The design - acid-etched, plated in copper and finished with platinum appointments - is inspired by the spiral coil that Tesla used in his wireless power experiments. Comes with a highly polished stainless steel nib and a slotted metal pocket clip. It's supplied in a vintage-themed cylinder which doubles as a pen stand as well as a protective case.

Refill with international standard sized cartridges or use a converter for bottled ink.
