Cross Townsend Lapis Lazuli

[RegDiggins]

I am the proud owner of a Lapis Townsend which I purchased from a dealer many years ago.  I noticed one for sale by an American stationer recently and could not believe

 

the amount they were asking.  I know this is a rare model but is a price around US$ 700  common ?

Prices vary, of course - supply and demand, plus asking and selling prices might be quite different - but I have never yet found one of these gorgeous pens I could afford 😢 !

Lovely pen - I'm a committed Townsend fan and have a few, mostly in sterling silver or gold or black lacquer. Always totally reliable with any ink I've ever tried (and I can't say that about all my other pens).

 

Congratulations - the lapis lazuli is the most beautiful finish.

The Cross Townsend in Lapis is an attractive pen as is the one in Jade lacquer. If not wrong they were more expensive than other pens of the same line. They came with very elaborate boxes.
