Retro 51 GREAT CHICAGO FIRE Rollerball / Pen - Numbered Ed 72 of 500
As Chicago approaches the sesquicentennial of the Great Chicago Fire, Retro 51 created THE GREAT CHICAGO FIRE Tornado Rollerball / Pen. It features the iconic Water Tower standing strong amid the intense flames that devoured the city. The Retro 51 pen is a numbered edition of 500 pens and comes packaged in a commemorative tube that can also be used as a pen stand.
The Chicago Fire tragedy that occurred October 8-10, 1871, left a trail of destruction and over 100,000 homeless. Mrs. O'Leary's cow of legend did not cause the fire. Rather, the hot, dry and windy weather conditions, combined with the wooden construction prevalent in the city, led to the uproar in flames. Despite the immense destruction, this is a story of a city's survival, with the Chicago Water Tower still standing after the fire was put out. The tower remains standing in the heart of the city, reminding the world of Chicago's strength during adversity.
