Journey to undiscovered depths... with Retro51’s newest addition to the Literary Collection, The Nautilus. The mystery of the sea awaits with this new Big Shot Tornado™ Rollerball intricately designed after the legendary Nautilus submarine from Jules Verne’s timeless masterpiece 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. In the words of Captain Nemo, “The ocean is an immense desert where man is never alone, for he can feel life bustling all about him.”
That bustling life begins on the packaging tube, decorated with foil stamped graphics reminiscent of a vintage book cover. Excitement continues when you open the tube with a POP to reveal the metal pen inside. Experience the weight,textured rivets, panels and details of the submarine acid-etched in the barrel and finished with stonewashed copper; this pen exudes an aura of adventure, just like the enigmatic vessel.
Part of our esteemed Literary Collection, each Big Shot Tornado Rollerball is numbered on the top ring. Whether you’re a connoisseur of fine writing instruments or a devoted fan of Verne’s work, this pen is sure to leave a lasting impression. The Nautilus is now boarding for boundless adventures.
**We do not advise submerging The Nautilus in water.

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
