Retro 51 Tornado Smithsonian Gene Davis Retractable Rollerball

Each Smithsonian twist-top rollerball pen has the Smithsonian logo engraved on the top ring and sun logo on the top disc. A serial number is engraved as well on the top ring and each pen is packaged in a matching commemorative tube.

Gene Davis’s Hot Beat is part of the Smithsonian American Art Museum’s permanent collection. He was quoted saying, “it seemed to feel right, as we entered the sixties, to have color that leaped right off the wall ... It’s almost as if I wanted to shout, rather than to whisper.” You’ll definitely be writing boldly with this Tornado printed in matching stripes to replicate this painting.
