Retro 51 Tornado Fountain Pen - Buzz
Bee creative with the Buzz Rescue Fountain Pen. This sweet new pen is sure to buzz its way into your heart with its tactile honeycomb pattern acid-etched in the barrels. They are then coated in a vibrant yellow lacquer and printed with multiple honeybees, complete with antique copper accents.
Not only will it write smoothly, but with each purchase a donation has been made to the NW Honeybee Habitat Restoration to help preserve and protect honeybee populations. Choose from a Fine, Extra Fine, or Medium nib to complement your writing style. It fills via standard international cartridge/converter and has a smooth-writing JoWo #6 steel nib. It comes packaged in a tube that doubles as a pen stand, along with a converter and two black short standard international ink cartridges.
Now pick up this fun fountain pen and BEE happy!
Note: Retro 51 is transitioning from unbranded nibs (pictured) to nibs with their logo on them. At this time, stock is mixed. Because the pens are shrink-wrapped, we cannot easily open to distinguish and therefore cannot guarantee which version you may receive.
