I gave DH a Cross Classic Century 10 Karat Gold Filed/Rolled Gold Ballpoint Pen as a gift centuries ago. He was not using it (afraid he will misplace and lose it) so I used it instead. Little did I know that the price has increased tenfold. I am sooo happy when I found out.
vintage Cross case since 1846
Anyway, you can see my Cross Ballpoint Pen collection (I have four) after the break....
Cross Classic Century 10 Karat Gold Filed/Rolled Gold Ballpoint Pen PhP 5,090
This gold ballpoint pen does not tarnish and the shimmer remains the same even after years of use. When I bought it, I had it engraved with DH's name and the initial of his surname.
cap/barrel USA with 23-Karat-Gold-Plated Appointments
Written on the cap is the following inscriptions:
- CROSS
- V20 10KT GOLD FILLED/ROLLED GOLD
- CAP/BARREL-USA
Cross Classic Century Black with Gold Clip PhP 3,190
The next three Cross pens were originally not engraved. I paid PhP 100 each to have it engraved in National Bookstore last Saturday.
I had the gold clip cleaned
This Cross Classic Century Black with Gold Clip is made in Ireland. Correct me if I am wrong but I think most of the Cross pens you see and buy right now are made in USA.
Classic Gray Ballpoint Pen with Silver Clip PhP 2,150
I have to take this Cross Classic Gray Ballpoint Pen back to the dealer/distributor for repair. Something is wrong with its swivel-action/repel feature.

Classic Century Lustrous Chrome Ballpoint Pen PhP 1,890
This Classic Century Lustrous Chrome is made especially for the ladies, note that there is no clip. I engraved this pen with my daughter's name. I intend to give it to her when she gets a little bit older. It's already signed and sealed with her name... wala nang kawala!
made in USA
Cross black inks in medium and fine ballpoints
