Retro 51 Smithsonian Collection: “Dinosaur Fossil” Tornado Rollerball Pen

Sometimes it’s just fun to look (and feel) dinosaur bones on your pen! Think about someone you know who loves dinosaurs and you’ve got your next brilliant gift idea, even if it’s yourself. This Retro 51 Tornado rollerball pen is officially licensed by the Smithsonian. Inside the commemorative tube, you’ll discover a metal pen where you can actually feel the dinosaur bones. It’s been plated in stonewashed copper to give it an unearthed look and then top printed in ivory to highlight the several dinosaur bones that wrap around the barrel. The pen isn’t slippery and has enough weight that it writes well; the pen action is firm with no accidental deployment of the pen’s tip. The top ring has been engraved with the Smithsonian name, plus each pen is individually numbered and imprinted with the Smithsonian logo on the top disc. This distinctive pen is sure to make you roar!
