Retro 51 Tornado Rollerball - Sydney Skyline Limited Edition - Artist Proof

This is an Original Limited Edition Artist Proof Pen - Brand New and Sealed in the Box

Sydney is the capital of New South Wales and the most populous city in Australia. Long before Europeans arrived in 1788, the Aboriginal peoples lived in Sydney for thousands of years. Sydney's fame sparkles from the blue Harbour waters and extends over hundreds of kilometers of scenic coastline. Known for its abundance in wildlife and World Heritage-listed sites, the region is suffering from the worst wildfire season in Australia's history.

Starting in late July 2019, over 17 million acres of Australia burned - 10 times the area that burned in California in 2018. Sydney's neighboring Blue Mountains Heritage Area lost 20% of its area to the flames. An estimated 1 billion animals died with devastating long-term effects on delicate ecosystems. Sydney canceled many outdoor sporting events and activities due to the hazardous air quality caused by the smoke. And the fires continue blazing amid record-setting heat waves.

Goldspot Pens collaborated with Retro 51 back in the summer of 2019 to design the Sydney Skyline rollerball pen as an extension of the Tornado "Skyline" pens. We could not have predicted the devastation that would place Australia at the front of the world's hearts and minds. However, this gives us an opportunity to do some good. For the sale of every Retro 51 Sydney Pen, Goldspot & Retro 51 will donate 10% of the proceeds to The Trustee for NSW Rural Fire Service & Brigades Donations Fund.

This limited edition Retro 51 Tornado Rollerball pen is screen printed in a colorful palette with highlights of Sydney's most famous landmarks. These highlights include the Sydney Opera House, Sydney Harbour Bridge, Sydney Tower, 1 Blight Street, Chifley Tower, Aurora Place, AMP Centre, Deutsche Bank Place, World Tower, Queen Victoria Building, St. Mary's Cathedral, and the Sydney Government House. When the lights go out, the Skyline Pen glows in the dark.Each pen is individually numbered on the top ring. The top disc on the knurled twist knob features an illustration of a dingo with the colors of the Australian flag. Each pen is packaged in a commemorative tube with matching artwork.
