Gene Davis'sHot Beatis part of the Smithsonian American Art Museum's permanent collection. Davis was quoted saying, "it seemed to feel right, as we entered the sixties, to have color that leaped right off the wall... it's almost as if I wanted to shout, rather than whisper." The bold, colorful vertical lines of his painting are translated into horizontal, concentric bands wrapped around the tapered silhouette of the Retro 51 Tornado rollerball.

Each pen in the Tornado Smithsonian collection has the Smithsonian name engraved on the top ring below the knurled twist-top. A serial number (not limited) is also engraved on the ring. The top disc features the Smithsonian logo. Each pen includes an educational insert that tells the history of each writing instrument design.
