Collection: Retro 51
Retro 1951 is a Texas based company, founded in 1990, with a focus on unique gifts and an emphasis on fine writing instruments and the accoutrements of life. The pen is not only a pen but instead a vehicle to create a world of possibilities and a way of revealing who you are. The pen is a perfect gift that will last for years and serve as a token of achievement or fond memories.
Retro 51 merges the fashionable colors and designs of today with the vintage, quality ideals of yesteryear. Although Retro specializes in vibrant, unusual and fun pens, we also offer “other cool stuff” with uncommon stylings. All of these items are branded and packaged with electrifying graphics, colors and a feel of classic Americana.
Every Retro piece is designed with an eye towards that nostalgic American Dream, and it could be best said that We make ‘em like they used to!™
In 2021, the Founder of Retro 1951 retired and a new team, a group of three collectors - fans really - took stewardship of the brand and its mission. Under their guidance the Retro51 brand has continued to thrive and will for many, many years to come!
