Life is too short to carry an ugly pen, or so says Retro 1951, the maker of fine writing instruments that mix the latest in technology with old fashioned charm. Just like it sounds, Retro 51 pens are a design return to bobby socks, fifties rock n' roll and surfing.

Grab your boards because the "Woodie Wagon" is back! It's back as a pen, at any rate. These pen designs from Retro 51 are just like the original "Woodie Wagons" of the 1940's and 50's.

Made from the finest wood and lacquer, these pens guarantee fun in the sun. They even have chrome accents. These pens are available in a variety of colors, black, red, white and, of course, blue.

Pen enthusiasts will love the Retro 51 Double-Eight Pen, because of its construction from solid bars of cellulose acetate which has an exceptionally warm, natural feel in the hand. Despite being one of the most long lasting and durable materials, when properly cared for, cellulose acetate is made from renewable resources and is biodegradable.

The clips and eight-sided rings on the Double-Eight are coated with platinum or gold plate and the iridium nibs are crafted in Germany. The twist roller version features the Parker style capless rollerball refill system.
