Retro 1951 is taking a trip to Egypt to honor the legendary Cleopatra in the latest addition to the Vintage Metalsmith collection. She was the last ruler of the Macedonian dynasty that was in power when Egypt was annexed by Rome in 30 BCE. She was known for her intelligence and beauty, and this pen honors the incredible woman that she was.

This beautiful design printed over a brass barrel with polished brass accents is inspired by what Cleopatra wore when she visited Rome, and her image adorns the top disc. Each one is packaged in a matching tube that doubles as a pen stand or carrying case when not in use. Journey back to Ancient Egypt and write your own legacy with this rollerball.

David ★★★★★

The weight of this pen is perfect—solid but not clunky, and the rollerball glides across paper like butter. The vintage Egyptian motif on the barrel feels genuinely luxurious, a nice nod to Cleopatra without being gaudy. It’s become my daily writer for signing documents.

Jason ★★★★★

The engraved Cleopatra detailing on the barrel is a lot more intricate in person than the photos suggest. I've been using it daily for a week and the rollerball glides so smoothly it makes me look for excuses to write notes.

Henry G. ★★★★★

The engraving on this rollerball is surprisingly crisp for the price, and the weight in hand feels substantial without being heavy. I've been using it daily for notes and it glides smoothly every time, a nice nod to Cleopatra's elegance.
