Hey everyone,
For anyone who's interested but not following the drop page, a friendly reminder that the drop ends tonight at midnight. https://www.massdrop.com/buy/retro-1951-tornado-herringbone
With support from Retro 1951, Massdrop is stepping up to ensure the production run will happen. Thanks to everyone who voted and participated so far to make this possible!
any idea on the nib size? and how, for example the fine or medium compare say to a Sailor 1911 fine????? would love to buy the whole set -- at price better than the 54.00 somewhere else.
I've had a copper Retro 51 Tornado for over a year and it's one of the most sturdy (and certainly one of the most unique and attractive) modern pens in my collection. The Pewter model looks awesome!
Hey everyone - WOW! Just wanted to say that Retro 1951, and everyone, are quite impressed.
We're glad to see there's a lot of interest and will be watching closely as the voting continues.
It'd be nice if a matching mechanical pencil would be an option but I'm guessing that would be tricky when they're custom made (especially since you wouldn't know how many people would add one).
I suspect some people would be interested in a matching ballpoint.
Hi @Aramchek -- That's an interesting idea; we probably will not be able to do a custom run of another style, but we can ask about offering existing models that match the winning finish.

Would love to see Retro 51 bring out a Vintage Surf edition fountain pen.
