Pen Boutique is back with the third release in the Edgar Allan Poe Raven Series. The 2024 Edition features the dichotomy of Lenore’s death that can be read in the third from last stanza. On one side is the angel that represents the author’s hope that she is at peace in the spiritual realm “Aidenn.” Moving in a different direction on the opposite end is the “bird or devil” that represents the pain of her loss. Hope versus despair are at odds, but overall the grief of Lenore’s death, represented by a skull, is central on the poem and the pen's design.

This Tornado Exclusive uses a combination of intricate acid-etching plus printing to highlight the key features against the purple lacquered barrel. It is finished with antique silver accents and topped with “Pallas” on the finial. This is a limited edition of 575 rollerballs with each top ring engraved revealing its number. They are packaged in a Retro tube with matching graphics to store or display on your desk. Grab the Raven at Pen Boutique before it is “Nevermore.”

Emma H. ★★★★★

The barrel's dark finish feels almost velvety in hand, and the engraved lines from that stanza catch the light beautifully as you write. It glides across the page smoother than I expected for a rollerball this weight. Honestly, it's become my go-to for signing documents.

Ellie U. ★★★★★

The engraved quote on the barrel is what sold me — it’s crisp and deep, catching the light beautifully when I write. The rollerball glides smoothly across paper without any skips, and the weight feels perfectly balanced for long journaling sessions.

Joshua ★★★★★

The barrel engraving tied to Lenore's stanza is so crisp and detailed that I keep turning it in the light just to admire the contrast. Writes smoothly right out of the box, too, no skips on the first few strokes.
