As Retro 51 puts it, 'Life is too short to carry an ugly pen'. And we agree. Their bright colours and cool designs have more than a hint of nostalgia about them, and all their pens are made with good old-fashioned values in mind.

The Vintage Metalsmith is a retractable rollerball which features a lacquer-coated steel barrel in a range of unique throw-back designs. This one is dedicated to futurist, inventor and engineer Nikola Tesla, whose inventions are still being used today. The design - acid-etched, plated in copper and finished with platinum appointments - is inspired by the spiral coil that Tesla used in his wireless power experiments. There is a knurled metal twist-action button at the end, to extend the tip, and a slotted metal pocket clip. It's supplied in a vintage-themed cylinder which doubles as a pen stand as well as a protective case.

Refill with either a liquid ink or ballpoint refill.
