{"product_id":"retro-1951-smithsonian-corona","title":"Retro 1951 \"Smithsonian\" - Corona","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe first design in the Smithsonian collection by Retro51 is the Corona twist-top rollerball pen. Its deeply etched barrel is reminiscent of the ornamental bronze-colored metal lattice that covers the outside of the National Museum of African American History and Culture building in Washington D.C.. Lead designer David Adjaye pays homage to the intricate ironwork crafted by enslaved African Americans in Louisiana, South Carolina, and elsewhere through the use of this design. Each rollerball pen is numbered on the top ring and complete with matte black nickel accents and loaded in a commemorative Smithsonian NMAAHC tube.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe National Museum of African American History and Culture is the only national museum devoted exclusively to the documentation of African American life, history, and culture. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this pen will support and further the Museum’s educational mission on what it means to be an American, and to share how American values like resiliency, optimism, and spirituality are reflected in African American history and culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\nThe great thing about Reto is you can convert them from a rollerball to a ballpoint using \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003ca title=\"Parker-style ballpoint refills\" href=\"https:\/\/vanness1938.mom\/collections\/ballpoint-refills\/parker-style-ballpoint\" target=\"_blank\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/vanness1938.mom\/collections\/ballpoint-refills\/parker-style-ballpoint\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eParker-style ballpoint refills\u003c\/a\u003e or you can use refill with another rollerball \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/vanness1938.mom\/collections\/retro-1951-ink-refills\/rollerball-refill\" target=\"_blank\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/vanness1938.mom\/collections\/retro-1951-ink-refills\/rollerball-refill\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eshort capless Schmidt refill\u003c\/a\u003e in this pen.  whatever your writing style Retro 51 has you covered.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Retro 1951","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":12154784841833,"sku":"SRR-1818","price":64.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0648\/5185\/products\/NMAAHC_Corona_Pen_silo.jpg?v=1571439266","url":"https:\/\/vanness1938.mom\/products\/retro-1951-smithsonian-corona","provider":"Vanness","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
