This Retro 51 Vega pen in specifically related to the National Air and Space Museum, where the bright red Lockheed 5B Vega is exposed.

Amelia Earhart set two of her many aviation records with this Lockheed. In 1932 she flew it alone across the Atlantic Ocean, then flew it nonstop across the USA, both firsts for a woman.

The pen has 'rivets' into the barrel, which gives the illusion that the pen has been put together just like the real aircraft and is printed with the original golden stripes on its bright red lacquer finish.

The Vega pen will be delivered in a matching tube with additional information about the pen.

Dr. Brauker's “carved cut-out" approach and mission to preserve Woodland art inspired Retro 51 Tornado’s Woodland Hummingbird and Flowers. This Tornado has her design acid-etched onto the barrel and then plated in stonewashed copper with accents to match. The Smithsonian top ring is engraved with its individual number and then complete with the sun logo on the finial. Each rollerball is packaged in a commemorative tube that will store the pen when it is not in use. 

Dr. Brauker is a lifelong artist. She began with making drawing and painting, then moved onto clay and bronze work. She uses personal experiences and her Little River Band of Ottawa culture to draw from and then carves the stories into pots. Her “carved cut-out" approach, inspired by a dream, has become her trademark. She strives to combine the artwork and legends of the past with contemporary materials of the present, keeping story-telling traditions alive. Dr. Brauker's Moon Bear Pottery is dedicated to the preservation of Woodland art. Brauker attended Central Michigan University where she earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts, a Master of Arts, and a PhD. She also earned an Associate’s Degree from Mid-Michigan Community College. She also attended the Institute of American Indian Arts in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
