This new, sealed Retro51 Tornado rollerball pen features the 2020 USPS Holiday Stamp art silk screened on the stainless-steel barrel and finished with a gloss varnish complemented with polished chrome trim. The top ring features an engraved USPS logo plus the pens' limited-edition number engraved of 1225 pieces. The pen is topped with a graphic finial with one more snowflake looking up at you when its stored upright in your pocket or purse.
The Retro51 licensed pen comes within a commemorative USPS packaging tube that not only stores your Retro, but also can be used as a pen stand on your desk when not in use.
With a traditional palette of red, green and white, illustrator Kirsten Ulve channeled her love of Christmas, vintage ornaments and Scandinavian folk art to create unique digital illustrations of four holiday icons: a prancing reindeer with antlers; an ornament tied with a bow and ready to hang; a tree topped with a star; and a stocking holding a teddy bear and a sprig of holly. Art director Antonio Alcal designed the stamps.
By next Christmas, these will likely be unavailable or sold only at very high prices. It's the first of a postal stamp series. More will be released in the first part of 2022. If you plan to build a collection of the USPS-Retro 51 collaborative stamps, this pen will be a must.
