Tiffany & Co. introduced the Streamerica collection of accessories and watches in 1990 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of its New York headquarters.
Tiffany & Co.’s Streamerica is inspired by the aerodynamic principles of the 1939 New York World’s Fair, the Streamlined designed collection evolved from the profile of a DC-3 wing and the bolted metal sheeting of airplane construction. Steel and Industry symbolize America’s aspirations for progress and prosperity. A Timeless expression of Man’s fascination with speed and technology – and his desire to forge a better tomorrow.
Streamerica is a ground-breaking collection. Never before has Tiffany featured steel as a luxury material, but no other material could convey such a powerful message of contemporary sophistication and masculinity.
The Streamerica Airflow Dipping Pen was produced with its own resting stand. This piece makes you want to open up the inkwell and write luxurious messages with it. The nib and bottom of the dipping pen are engraved Tiffany & Co. The base is also engraved on the bottom part and came with the round Tiffany Blue sticker that says Made in Switzerland.

From what I have seen at the store and on ebay, I think this is one of the only pieces that had its own custom jewelry case manufactured. Below are pictures of the outside of the hinged box, exact copy of a jewelry box in black suede. Inside it has two custom made compartments that fit and secure the dipping pen and its stand.

Each piece in the Streamerica line is designed to complement each other to form a cohesive statement in stainless steel. The Ink Dipping Pen is part of the Airflow writing set that includes an Ink Blotter and Ink well or bottle.
