Customer Reviews
It's just a fabulous pen, and I have to watch to make sure it doesn't fly off when I take it to work. Not that my co-workers would take it, but it did create some serious pen envy, LOL! I love the brilliant red, yellow and orange color scheme and know this will be one of my favorite pens. Besides the fabulous flames that cover the pen, there is a nice little yellow phoenix set on the top of the red finial. The flames are delineated by thin black lines which are slightly raised from the flames. This gives a bit of added texture to the pen which I personally enjoy. Pen Chalet scored a major hit with this exclusive. Don't wait to pick it up, it may fly off sooner than you think.

Not just a gorgeous looking pen. The slightly raised flames add that extra flare. Just like all Tornados, it also writes smooth. The uniqueness and quality of this pen makes it worth every penny.

As always Retro 51 produces an excellent writing pen. Additionally, the Columbia Space Shuttle design is a tribute to space history.

A whimsical pencil with solid brass construction. Pencil lead movement is smooth, and the clutch does not let the lead go loose, which has happened to me with some other mechanical pencils. Good weight, but not too heavy for extended use.

I like Retro 51’s rollerball pens. Ya, in some instances, a rollerball pen is better suited for certain writing tasks… . These pens are solid, well built, work as designed. I like the variety of designs available too. Worth the cost for me.

I love this pen. Initially I bought as a display piece but it turned into my daily use pen. People regularly Comment on its design. It's smooth and consistent. The weight is perfect for holding and carrying in pocket.

The Retro 51 Grest American Jukebox Tornado is a wonderful pen, just like all the Retro 51 series. Gorgeous colorful design. I love the silver top.
The pen, like all Retro 51 rollerballs writes
smoothly and has a comfortable grip.
