Description:

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 Smithsonian range celebrates the contents of the world's largest museum's archives and library. This retractable rollerball features a lacquer-coated steel barrel with a design inspired by the Shin-Bijutsukai, a Japanese design magazine produced during the early years of the 20th century. There is a knurled metal twist-action button at the end, to extend the tip, and a slotted metal pocket clip. It's supplied in a themed cylinder which doubles as a pen stand as well as a protective case.

Refill with standard pattern Parker style refills.
