The Smithsonian is a retractable rollerball featuring a lacquer-coated steel barrel in a range of designs inspired by the Smithsonian, the world's largest museum. There is a knurled metal twist-action button at the end, to extend the tip, and a slotted metal pocket clip. It's supplied in a themed cylinder which doubles as a pen stand as well as a protective case. Woodland Hummingbird and Flowers is a limited edition celebrating the indigenous peoples of America. The design is by Dr Shirley Brauker, whose 'carved cut-out' approach has resulted in her design being acid-etched onto the barrel and then plated in stone-washed copper. The individual serial number is inscribed on the top ring. |
