American manufacturer of
quality writing instruments. Cross was
founded in
1846, making
pencils and
Stylographic pens. They now produce a full range, including
roller ball pen and
fountain pens. They have also made a range of products to compliment
PDAs.
Cross is perhaps best known for slender ballpoint pens. In 1953, they started to produce their “Century” ballpoint, which is still in production today. If you are male and in the United States of America, you’ve probably received one as a graduation present at some point in your life.
