Reviews

All Around Winner

"I love the Library Books design! I also like the twist to write feature because so many pen tops don’t fit snugly and drop. The weight gives a nice heft in your hand as the older I get the more my fingers appreciate a bigger pen. As I write this, I may be realizing that this is now my favorite pen!"

— Sheila B. (5/5)

Perfect for a lit teacher

"I love the weight, love the smoothness that it writes, most of all I love the design. . . Perfect for a literature teacher. . ."

— David (5/5)

Great

"Like the design of this pen. I’m an avid reader and use the mechanical pencil in this design every day to make my notes about each book I read. The pen is nice too. I wish the mechanical PENCIL was still available as I would order another one."

— J. M. (5/5)

A Well Lovesd Gift

"My friend loved the pen. She sent me a thank-you card to show off the smooth writing. We belonged to a pack of bookworms growing up so it was the perfect design."

— Catherine D. (5/5)

Perfect writing pen

"Great pen. I use it every day!"

— Meredith T. (5/5)

A Good Pen!

"This pen is great because it's a convenient size, and it writes well. It's not as small as a "space" pen, which is what I was looking for, but it's also not as long as a standard pen. I used the clip to run a circular metal loop through so that I can clip it to a clip hook in my bag. I wish the design actually came with a small metal loop so that the pen can be attached to a clip, but, as it is, it's a nice pen! I bought the refills so that I wouldn't have to go searching for refills once the ink in the pen runs dry."

— Val C. (5/5)

Tornado really is grand, just like a tornado!

Q&A

What type of refills does the Retro 51 Rollerball take? And can you use it as a ball point?
This will work with either retro 51 capless rollerball sku pr2205 or our ballpoint refills app911.
is this pen at 5 inches shorter than a normal size pen?
Our true writer ballpoint is 5 3/8" long so if you are used to a True Writer, Retro 51 pens are shorter and slimmer
