Retro 51 Tornado™ Vintage Metalsmith - Dr. Gray Skeleton Rollerball Pen

I work in a health related field and was looking for an interesting pen for work. I have several Retro 51 fountain pens and I love them. This pen is awesome. The design and function are perfect. I love the skeleton and many coworkers have made positive comments on it. It is a substantial pen meaning it is heavier then many pens I own. I like that, but some may not. One thing I didn't know about the pen. I was in a meeting and they dimmed the lights for a presentation. Little did I know the body of the pen glows in the dark. This is a great pen that looks good and writes like a dream.

Love this pen! Looks gorgeous, writes smooth and fluidly with no breaks and no pooling. Only issue is my son keeps threatening to steal it!

Vital to my work as primary care physician. Every patient gets a written note of what we discussed. And they love to see their bones (labeled correctly) I bought a 2nd in case the first walked away. The rollerball smeared & refills did not last so I use ballpoint refills. This is an important tip: if you want gel pens use TUL from the office store. Use ballpoint refills in your Retro 51’s.. These are solid like my first vehicle a GMC 1951 panel truck. I will enjoy them forever.

Big pen collector and I love these pens. These are my go to pens for everything, the ink ratio is perfect. They feel so lightweight and are so easy to write with.

I love the look and feel of this pen. Its pleasant to hold and its a quality rollerball refill. It would be a good gift for someone just getting into nicer pens or aren't ready for that nice pen cost. Its also a decent gift for people into the Medical field or into strange/ spooky things. I think this is the 3rd time I've purchased this pen. If it was lost/stolen again I doubt i'd buy it a 4th time but i don't regret replacing it. I don't think this pen is being made anymore but there appears to be a lot of stock left currently.

Love this pen. I wanted something Halloweeny but the Sleepy Hallow SE is sold out everywhere. I have size 9 hands but this pen fits nicely & writes beautifully. It fits inside my glasses case so I can keep it safe travelling. Leaving it in the window for 30 seconds is enough to give it its pale blue glow in the dark look but it will leave a harsh line, so make sure you keep turning it to get the full look. The blue glow makes me smile when I look at it and the glow is quite strong.

One of (if not) the best pens I've ever owned. It writes nice and smooth, and at the perfect thickness. Something cool about this pen as to others that I found out is that when you write with it, you can immediately go over it with a highlighter, and it won't smear. Every other pen I've ever used had to dry for awhile before you can do that, not this one.

This pen glows in the dark exceptionally well. Got for a friend, but I don’t know if I can give it up! As always, very well balanced in your hand to keep hand fatigue at bay

Sieht gut aus, fühlt sich gut an, schreibt flüssig

Hermosa la pluma y escribe muy padre

Un prodotto di qualità, come tutte le penne Retro 51. Regalo ideale per un medico, è simpaticissima da guardare e se la si lascia alla luce durante il giorno, di notte diventa fosforescente, ricalcando i raggi X. Funziona sia con i ricambi rollerball dedicati, sia con ricambi standard tipo Parker.

Beautiful and unique. That glow in the dark is pretty nice. Definitely a collectible. Well balanced and weighted. Switching to schmidt 9000 easyflow since i was looking for a ball point pen.

Awesome looking pen. Good weight to it. Just wish they had it in click style. Loving my pen and envolking pen envy
