Inspired by the legendary A-10 Warthog, celebrated for its Gatling gun-style 30 mm cannon and titanium armor, Retro51 adds the latest Tornado™ warbird to the Vintage Metalsmith Collection. This addition embodies the rugged durability of the iconic aircraft.
In service for 50 years, the A-10 Warthog remains a favored military aircraft for its close air support capabilities and robust “titanium bathtub” shielding, crucial in protecting pilots from ground attacks while delivering a powerful attack. Pilots and crew are integral to its success, dedicated to aiding ground troops and bravely engaging and defending their fellow soldiers.
The Tornado™ Rollerball pays homage to this powerhouse aircraft, featuring tactile rivets, panels, and twin-turbo fan acid-etched in the barrel and accentuated with printed wing emblems and the fierce warthog face near the nose of the pen. Each pen boasts black nickel finish accents reminiscent of its nose-mounted gun that is also represented on the finial. Each one is packaged in a graphic tube adorned with an A-10 illustration, making it an ideal gift for aviation and history enthusiasts alike. Command attention with the A-10 Warthog rollerball pen — where strength meets style!

As you likely already know... Our physical store in Biltmore Village was completely destroyed in the Flood Disaster.
We are working to recreate our brick and mortar store. Until then we are building up this online store, where you'll find a "Current Offerings" shopping page (to the right) OR scroll down on our HOME PAGE where you'll find more specific shopping links being added daily. If you don't see what you're looking for, just let us know and we'll arrange getting it to you, since it's likely that we have it but it's simply not up on our site yet. Please keep checking back and you will find something new each time you do! We should have our site expanded to a completion very soon.
We have, also, set up a Go Fund Me site for donations here: https://www.gofundme.com/f/join-us-in-restoring-a-beloved-local-haven
