What's up with Cross Fountain Pens?

A look at Cross fountain pens, including the Townsend, Spire, and Peerless.

Thanks for an interesting review of the brand. There is the old Cross company, where the products were made in the US, UK and Ireland, and the current one, where everything is made in China. It is now basically a different company and its products are not as good as the older ones.

Sold break down of the company cross. I always carry 2-3 pens on hand. 1. Fountain pen 2. Cross gell pen with black ink. So that if someone needs to borrow a pen, they can write with it, and the black gell ink color is awesome. 3. Fisher Space pen because no matter what is happening I can always count on it to write even in -30. 😆 Man wish I was rich. It would be nice to buy cross up and build them back up to what they once were. I was shocked to see cross gone from staples.
