Retro 51 | Tornado USPS Collection
.
USPS COLLECTION
It is Retro 51's honor to partner with the USPS on a series of pens spotlighting the Post Office, its history and story. From the Pony Express to modern Electric Vehicles, the United States Post Office has a proud tradition of delivering the mail to even the most remote regions of the country. The Route Master evokes the iconic vintage postal vehicles of yesteryear. The Red, White and Blue along with the historic eagle logo harken back to a simpler time and remind us how vital the United States Postal Service is. This Tornado rollerball has an acid-etched barrel with the light texture paneling and rivets seen on the vintage USPS vehicles. The metal barrels are then printed with the iconic eagle logo and vehicle markings complete with gloss black trim topped with another Eagle icon on the finial. Each one is loaded in the USPS branded tube to store your Retro when it's not in use. Pick up this new licensed design to start delivering great ideas at home and the office. The history of the Postal Service is a large story set on a broad canvas. It is intertwined with the history of America, and it provides a lens from which to observe the evolution of the United States. The postal system strengthened the foundations of our democracy by fostering the flow of ideas and access to America's free press. It enabled the vast expansion of American industry and commerce, spanning and influencing the rise of the railroads in the 19th century, air travel in the 20th century, and the advanced digital technology of recent decade. _____________________________________________________
2021 USPS LOVE STAMP
The original art and stamp design by Bailey Sullivan with Greg Breeding as art director uses "playful, graphic lettering" and "will add color and whimsy to your mailings, making it clear that thought and care have been lavished on the message, inside and out." The 2021 Love stamp is a Forever stamp, so lavish some love and caring on your favorite people by make this open numbered Tornado rollerball a part of their forever collection. This Retro51 Tornado rollerball pen features the 2021 USPS Love Stamp silkscreened on the stainless-steel barrel and finished with a gloss varnish that is complimented by the polished chrome trim. Each Tornado's top ring features an engraved USPS logo plus the pen's serial number engraved for this running series. The textured knurl-top twists to extract the smooth-flowing rollerball refill and then closes with a twist in the opposite direction when not in use. Finally, each pen is topped with a graphic finial with one more heart looking up at you when it's stored upright in your pocket or purse. The Retro51 licensed pen comes within a commemorative USPS packaging tube that not only stores your pen, but also can be used as a pen stand on your desk when not in use.
