Retro 51 Vintage Metalsmith Collection: Stealth Tornado Gift Set

Tired of giving gift cards for birthdays or graduation gifts? How about surprising that special someone with a gift set featuring your favorite tried-and-true rollerball pen and mechanical pencil that is sure to provide them years, possibly even decades, of writing pleasure!

The Retro 51 Vintage Metalsmith Collection features classic designs and antique finishes. The Retro 51 Stealth Tornado is as silent as it is deadly - on the page - and it makes a perfect gift for the military buff or emo-goth in your life. You might even see the Stealth Tornado coming until it’s already in your hand! The Retro 51 Gift Set includes a twist-top Rollerball pen and a 1.15mm Mechanical Pencil. Both Rollerball Pen and Mechanical Pencil have a Matte Black Stainless Steel barrel with glossy Black Trim. The svelte barrel slowly tapers towards the tip from a knurled top cap with a snug, yet springy clip. The phrase “Tornado by Retro 51” is engraved around the top black metal band in a tornado-esque font. Twist the knurled metal top cap to reveal the ballpoint tip or advance the 1.15mm mechanical pencil lead. The Retro 51 Stealth Tornado rollerball pen comes with a Black ink cartridge, but is compatible with Easy Flow 9000 rollerball ink cartridges or any Parker-style ballpoint refill if you want to turn your Stealth Tornado into a ballpoint pen. In keeping with the theme, the Retro 51 Stealth Tornado Mechanical Pencil has a large Black eraser on top that can hardly be seen and, with a few quick strokes, will certainly remove any evidence of wrongdoing, should you require it to. To refill the Retro 51 mechanical pencil, insert new lead through the tip of the pencil. Press the lead in until you feel it latch securely inside the pencil’s inner clutch mechanism, then twist the knurled top cap counterclockwise to retract the lead. The Retro 51 Vintage Metalsmith Stealth Tornado Gift Set comes with a pack of 12 extra leads and a tube of 6 extra erasers packaged inside a stealthy black graphic cushioned tube that doubles as both a rollerball pen and mechanical pencil stand.

Retro 1951 started in 1990 with a focus on producing unique gifts with an emphasis on fine writing instruments. The pen is not a pen, but instead a vehicle to an end - a way of showing who you are. The pen is a perfect gift that will last for years and serve as a token of achievement or fond memories.
