Inspired by the famous abolitionist and orator’s iconic image, the Frederick Douglass rollerball has a tactile computer engraved texture that is complemented with antique copper trim. Douglass has his portrait on both the finial and packaging label. "His life’s work still serves as an inspiration to those who seek equality and a more just society." - History.com

George Kartsotis started Retro 1951 in 1990 in Richardson, Texas. He received his first nice pen as a gift for a job promotion and recognized the potential of the special gift. "We're a gift company." He says. "We are selling the accoutrements of life. A pen is not a pen, it's a vehicle to an end – a way of showing who you are." Although Retro specializes in fine writing instruments, they also offer leather accessories, games, lifestyle products and "other cool stuff!" 

Retro 1951 custom designs and produces new products and packaging that provide both continuity and freshness year after year. From top selling pens to card cases and desk accessories, they consistently develop a wide range of products that have fueled their retail business. Retro 1951 has enjoyed working with companies like Tommy Bahama, Tumi, Boeing, and many others, designing and manufacturing products that enhance their brand identity. For instance, when developing a product for Harley-Davidson®, Retro 1951 captures the exciting feeling of roaring down a winding road with wind rushing through your hair so you can experience it, even when chained to your desk.

Retro 1951's innovative products use the latest in design and technology to bring many years of pleasure to the end user. After all, "Life is too short to carry an ugly pen!™"

Fresh, Clean Air — Excellent Quality Cabin Filter!
Size: 9.7" x 9.3" x 1.8"
This premium HEPA‑rated filter does an outstanding job of keeping dust, pollen, and tiny airborne particles out of the cabin — much better than standard cabin filters. It’s designed and tested to meet true HEPA filtration standards, effectively capturing up to 99.97 % of particles down to 0.3 microns in size, so the air inside the car feels noticeably cleaner and fresher. Installation was straightforward and fit exactly in place in my vehicle with no modifications needed. The high‑quality filter media feels dense and well‑constructed, with built‑in structural support to help it hold its shape throughout its service life.

Must Buy HEPA Cabin Filter
Size: 9.7" x 9.3" x 1.8"
Great filter and excellent Value! And, it’s a Bosch !!! Description and sizing were exactly as advertised. DIY install was easy and it fit my 2019 Highlander perfectly ! Filter is HEPA and well made and is a good thickness, so much better than the flimsy one the car dealership installed. Impressive ! Highly recommend!

A Lungful of Freedom
Size: 9.7" x 9.3" x 1.8"
Dateline: The Passenger-Side Footwell of a Toyota Venza, Sunday Night. We spend our lives in sealed metal boxes, hurtling through a thick, invisible soup of our own collective filth. A foul cocktail of exhaust fumes, road dust, tire particles, and whatever strange, pollen-based miasma the world decides to throw at us on any given day. To breathe that poison in, unfiltered, is an act of slow, unwitting suicide. You need a line of defense. A gatekeeper for your own lungs. Enter the Bosch 6055C HEPA Cabin Air Filter. It is not a glamorous part. It is not a performance upgrade that adds horsepower or prestige. It is a simple, pleated rectangle of paper and charcoal, a humble guardian destined to live out its days in a dark plastic cave behind your glovebox. But its mission is a noble one. The replacement process is a moment of pure, unadulterated, five-minute victory over the dealership's service department. You pop open the glovebox, you unclip the old filter tray, and you pull out the old soldier. And what you find is a horror show. A grey, matted testament to the unseen war it has been fighting on your behalf, choked with leaves, dirt, and the ghosts of a thousand diesel trucks. It is the face of the enemy. You unwrap the new Bosch filter. It feels solid, well-made. The pleats are clean and numerous. I laid it side-by-side with the outgoing Denso filter—a brand that supplies the automakers themselves—and I could find no meaningful difference. The quality was equal. The construction, robust. This was no flimsy, cut-rate pretender. This was a serious piece of hardware from a serious company. You slide the clean, white Bosch into the tray, snap it back into its dark little home, and close the glovebox. The deed is done. You have performed a life-saving transplant on your vehicle's respiratory system in less time than it takes to listen to a single pop song. And the value… the value is the sweet, sweet punchline. For a fraction of what a dealership would charge you for the same simple service, you have installed a top-tier, HEPA-grade filter from one of the most respected names in the business. You have guaranteed yourself a clean, breathable bubble of personal space as you navigate the toxic jungle of the modern roadway. This is not just a filter; it's a small, affordable act of rebellion. It’s a declaration that you, and you alone, are the master of the air you breathe. It is a simple, effective, and profoundly satisfying piece of gear. Highly recommended.

Great Upgrade to your Cabin Filter. Fits 2018 Subaru Outback
Size: 9.7" x 9.3" x 1.8"
This is a great filter upgrade to your cabin filter. This is better than the Subi standard part. Fits my Subaru outback. NOTE: Subi marks their filter with an 'up' arrow; however, this filter is marked with a 'airflow' direction. Direction of air flow is toward the blower motor so it will point downward when you install it.
