Collection: Retro 51 - All Products

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!

  • Bottled Fountain Pen Ink

    Choose bottled fountain pen ink if you want the widest color selection and a more refillable writing experience. Bottled ink works with compatible fountain pens using a converter, piston filling system, or other bottle-fill mechanism.

  • Fountain Pen Ink Cartridges

    Choose ink cartridges if you want a simple, convenient refill option with less setup and easier travel. Cartridges are a good choice for everyday writing, school, work, and anyone who wants a faster refill process.

  • Flushing your fountain pen regularly—

    especially when changing ink colors, every six weeks, or before storing the pen—is essential to prevent ink residue buildup, muddy color mixing, and clogged feeds that can lead to scratchy or inconsistent writing.
