Retro 51 Tornado The MET Rhinelander Pitcher Rollerball
Retro 51 is proud to announce the newest officially licensed Metropolitan Museum of Art pen collection design, the Retro 51 Tornado The MET Rhinelander Pitcher Rollerball. This artful pen is inspired by the intricate detailing on a fine silver pitcher. It was created in 1874 or 1875 by Tiffany & Co. under the direction of Edward C. Moore. Similarly, they oversaw the production of a diverse array of exquisitely wrought and highly original silver creations. This pitcher exemplifies the company’s engagement with Near Eastern and Indian art. Notably, it was presented by Julia Rhinelander to her niece Mary in 1883 on the occasion of Mary’s wedding.
First of all, this acid-etched Retro 51 Tornado The MET Rhinelander Pitcher Rollerball pen barrel reinterprets the pitcher’s decorations. After that, you will be able to feel the fine details of the garlands, dahlias, lotus flowers, and other exotic vegetation featured on The Met’s vessel when you hold this pen in hand.
Secondly, it has been finished with stonewashed pewter to reflect the original patina silver. In addition, the accents are in a matching pewter finish that showcases The Met logo plus the numbered engraving of this smooth rollerball refill. Importantly, even though it’s numbered, this edition is not limited. Therefore, enjoy smooth twist-action retraction on this capless rollerball. Above all, you can easily refill your Retro 51 Tornado with either a Monteverde Parker Style ballpoint or gel refill, a Schmidt EZ Flow refill, or a Schmidt Short Capless rollerball refill.
Finally, each pen is packaged in a commemorative Met tube that doubles as a pen stand or carrying case when not in use, and includes a small informative print inside. Whatever the occasion, treat a loved one or yourself to this beautiful Retro51 pen.
