Welcome to the new Cross Forum!

 

http://www.penhero.com/PenGallery/Cross/Pics/Cross150thLELogo.jpg

 

We noticed that there are really limited forums online that focus on Cross pens and pencils and the history and products of the oldest writing instrument company in the world.

I'm hoping that Cross collectors will gather here and exchange informaton on Cross.

Hi. I am new here. Three days ago I purchased a Cross Verve Merlot. Today the clip came off. I didn't notice until I removed the pen from my shirt pocket. Luckily the clip was in my pocket. I'm not sure if I want another Verve now. I returning this tomorrow. Any thoughts or suggestions on another model or make?

Wow, what a drag! :( I love my Verve, but I don't use the clip at all. I hope they fix/replace it for you!

That really sucks Cross will stand by their product. Call the Corporate offices www.mycrossbiz.com. I have found that the Townsend is the best Cross, has anyone tried the Cross Apogee Fountain? It rocks!!!!

Yes, I've tried the Apogee, FP and BP, but hate the sharp clip end. Weight is nice but the Chinese detailing is a let down :unsure:

 

Townsend and Centuries are great though :thumbup:

Hello from Spain!

 

This is my first message and I'm new also in the brand. Just from yesterday, I have an ATX fountain pen and a Townsend roller (I'm thinking about changing it for an Apogee).

 

I'll take a look at the forum to learn the more I can about all of that.

Hey all, I'm relatively new to fountain pens and I don't want to get anything not worth getting. Any suggestions for a good Cross pen?

Wherever you go, there you are.

Hello!

 

I'm new to FPs and I am on a bit of a budget. I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good "starter" pen. I like Cross pens, but any good started pen recommendations would be helpful. Thanks!

I have 2 in the mail.

1) Townsend bought here

2) Solo. I chased one of these down after having a Pen Party and it was voted as best pen. Naturally, it was snatched away from me. The one in the mail is white/black. I am sure that is not practical but I bet it's gorgeous.

Hi All,

 

My favourite and probably the cheapest cross pen I own is the solo. Although I believe they are no longer in manufacture, ebay UK still has lots advertised - usually just as cross fountain pen and they go between £4 - £15, this is a great starter pen for those wondering how to spend their money. Im in love with the cross brown ink - not sure why but it is special and always gets commented on!!

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
