Retro 51 Tornado Smithsonian Panda Rollerball

The Smithsonian’s National Zoo and Conservation Biology Institute celebrates 50 years of unprecedented achievement in the care, conservation, breeding and study of giant pandas.

Over the past five decades, the Zoo’s bears have become international icons, beloved both for their adorable antics and their ability to bring colleagues from the United States and China together to collaborate for a common goal: saving the species from extinction.

The Smithsonian collection rollerball pen by Retro 51 has an embarrassment of frolicking pandas printed on the lightly textured bamboo green barrel. Each Tornado is complete with antique silver accents, individually numbered top ring and the Smithsonian sun logo on the finial.
