Cross Century Fp

[WRITE SHOP ROBERT]

WooHoo...scored this awesome classic at a thrift store for four dollars! I think they stopped using this color in the eighties.

Here's the pen

Very nice

4 dollars for a working century means the pen was basically free. I don`t understand why people/stores bother to sell them so cheaply.

 

Ok, i`m just envious

To be fair, it was at a thrift store. I'm not sure what you call them there. Secondhand shop, charity store? The items they sell are all used and donated for charities. And...it seems to maybe be leaking. At that price I'm still happy to have the shell even if I have to pull the guts out or one of my beat up others. I always wanted one in the Grey but that color was already discontinued by the time I took a n interest in pens

Lucky you.

I still don't have a grey one.

Nice, I have that same pen in my pocket today. Got it in the mid 80's. Looks like it's in great shape.

I have one like that, very nice indeed. The problem with mine is that the clip has become somewhat loose, so I don't dare to keep in my shirt pocket. I'm afraid it will drop out.

Does anyone happen to know a way to fix a loose clip?

just found one, navy blue, at an estate sale, writes nicely. medium nib like op's photo performs more like a fine. any historical, technical, or otherwise info from the forum would be welcomed.

Nice color, that green. I have a matte black one in M and am looking for my chrome one with the gold plated fine. They are pretty good pens that helped sustain my initial interest.
