IDENTIFY CROSS ELECTRONIC PEN WITH AAAA BATTERY ??


buyitwright

Recommended Posts

Trying to identify this pen. Looks like a Townsend but insides very different. Cross on clip but I can make out FCC stamped on the cap and has what looks like a jewel on top of cap. Uses a single AAAA battery 

 

any help is appreciated

I don't even know where you'd GET an AAAA battery.  Sorry, I can't be of help about the pen.

What does the battery do?

Not sure. I wanted to find out before I try a new battery. I called Cross and they are to get back to me.

Given the battery size I'd say it is a laser pointer.  Unsure if A.T. Cross made a combo ballpoint/laser or if not then maybe the original manufacturer's cap was lost and a prior owner found the current Cross cap fit just as well.

   This is a long shot, but it looks like there isn’t much left to try. There’s a Cross dealer on Ebay named dalu1409. They’re located in Rhode Island and seem to be pretty knowledgeable about Cross- their store is Cross Pens 4 Less. Try contacting them. 

Top 5 (in no particular order) of 30 currently inked pens:

Parker Duofold Lady needlepoint, MB Cool Grey

Waterman 52 EF, Herbin Bleu Pervenche

Thank you. I reached out and he responded immediately. 
 

seems it’s a PDA stylus and came with a tablet. 
 

thanks to all for your input.

  Yay! I’m so glad to have helped you in some small way. Are you going to look for the tablet?

I have looked but not seeing this pen or the tablet.

Looks like it’s from the CrossPad 1998. Found a video on it.

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
