PEN REVIEW: Libelle Autumn Leaves

Posted on by
This pretty little number was a gift from a friend. I’ve had it for years – I’m guessing since 2005 or so – but have not used it much.
Love the variations in colors and the special look of the top/bottom. Nice.
A bit of translucency in the right light . . .
Sleek – with a great shape. Easy to hold. Well-balanced. Comfortable. Posted well.
The clip has a very art deco look to it, yes? Look at those swirls of color. Yummy.
This pen was part of a series from Libelle and has since been discontinued. These were not super-expensive pens – around $80 or so – and seem to be quite collectable now.
The only place I really spotted the “cheap” is in the threads – they aren’t the very fine sort that I see in much more expensive pens. Not a big deal.
Mine is a medium nib.
And the $1,000,000 question: How did it write?
Beautifully. Smooth with just a bit of feedback. No scritchy-scratchy. Not to floaty over the paper. Just right.
A comfortable pen always make my handwriting look pretty. No hard starts, no skipping. Just right.

I used Noodler’s Black Eel ink on Clairefontaine Triomphe paper.  The flow was perfect for me.
A great writing experience.
Suggest making the following recipe for fall football games. Also suggest moderating the amount of hot sauce.
Tell me what you’re thinking? Love Libelle? Love hot sauce?  😉
