Collectible Cross Ballpoint Pens

Because of its craftsmanship, quality, and durability, a Cross ballpoint pen can be used and stay in the family for decades. They are often highly sought after by collectors because of their ability to last. To keep them safe, these collectible pens are often sold with a decorated wooden box and are embossed with the Cross logo.

Cross offers their collectible ballpoint pens in a variety of finishes, including solid colors, patterns, and metals.

• Luxury chrome

If you purchase a single pen, it may come with its own small and thin case. Desk set pens and pencils may have their own larger case, which is neatly organized so you can easily view or use your collection. When you're not using your Cross pen or pencil collection, the manufacturer recommends storing the pens or pencils in the case that they were sold in to preserve the finish or ink.

Cross ballpoint pens are lightweight and do not feel heavy in your hand while writing. The heaviest Cross ballpoint pen weighs about an ounce and the lightest about 0.25 ounce. Factors that affect the pen's weight are relative to the material it is created with.

Yes, you can. Once you have a Cross pen or pencil, you may buy ink or lead refills.
