Retro 51 Vintage Metalsmith Collection: Lincoln Tornado Rollerball Pen

The Retro 51 Vintage Metalsmith Collection features classic designs and antique finishes. Abraham Lincoln said "Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe." In the same way, we should be exercising our greatest tool, our brain. With all the distractions around us, we need to find quiet time with a good book, a pen and journal to revive our psyche. Because when you are at your sharpest, you can conquer any task. Pick up a Vintage Metalsmith to inspire you to work smarter, not harder.

This Retro 51 Vintage Metalsmith Collection Lincoln Tornado rollerball pen has a distressed  copper finish that resembles a Lincoln penny. The rollerball pen features a Copper-plated Brass barrel with antique Copper trim. The smooth barrel slowly tapers towards the tip from a knurled top cap. The rollerball pen has a snug, yet springy pen clip. “Tornado by Retro 51” is engraved around the top metal band in a tornado-esque font. Twist the knurled metal top cap to reveal the rollerball pen tip. The Retro 51 Tornado comes with a Retro 51 Black rollerball ink cartridge, but is compatible with Easy Flow 9000 rollerball ink cartridges and any Parker-style ballpoint refill if you want to turn your Tornado into a ballpoint pen. The Retro 51 Vintage Metalsmith Collection Lincoln Tornado rollerball is packaged in a cushioned graphic tube that doubles as a pen stand.

Antimicrobial Benefits of Copper

Copper is an antimicrobial material and can help stop the spread of bacteria like MRSA, E-Coli and Staphylococci. This makes the Retro 51 Vintage Metalsmith Lincoln Tornado rollerball pen extremely beneficial for healthcare professionals (especially doctors and nurses), teachers, childcare providers, flight attendants and airport staff, public transportation workers, restaurant and kitchen staff and those who come into contact with a large number of people during their daily routine.

"The surfaces of copper and its alloys, such as brass and bronze, are antimicrobial. They have an inherent ability to kill a wide range of harmful microbes relatively rapidly – often within two hours or less – and with a high degree of efficacy. These antimicrobial properties have been demonstrated by an extensive body of research.”
