Cross Pens

The revived reputation of fountain pens for writing across the past number of years has been accompanied by a rise in the quantity of collectors. Collectors of antique pens vary from a lot of collectors in that most of them choose to use their collection, at least occasionally. A good fountain pen can quite literally last a lifetime if it's well kept.

Recently I used a Cross pen from a work mate and felt I was in the presence of something special. Recently I fortunately discovered a merchant offering for sale a Cross Century II Chrome and Translucent Blue Lacquer. Fortunately I purchased it for a outstanding price. The auction said that it was in great condition and boy was he accurate. It was in new in the box condition, with inside and external boxes and all the papers. What a great Cross and one and all is asking me how they can buy one. The best fact for me is that it is a superb pen. It glides across paper like no other pen I’ve ever used. I congratulate the Cross creators, it really is a masterpiece.

It is very important to select a nib with the most suitable flow to fit the users writing habits. There are alternative head sizes that make correspondingly diverse handwriting, depending upon the pressing that is used on them.
