Description from the seller

Brand New CROSS Luxury Fountain Pen & Ballpoint Set – Ornate Design – 18K Gold Nib – Complete Presentation Box

This is a superb vintage CROSS writing set, presented in outstanding condition and preserved in its original luxury case. The set includes a fountain pen fitted with an 18K solid gold nib and its matching companion ballpoint pen, forming an elegant and timeless pairing designed for collectors and discerning writers alike.

Both instruments feature a refined vertically fluted metal body with a highly polished silver-tone finish, reflecting Cross’s iconic American design language and commitment to craftsmanship. The streamlined silhouette, balanced proportions, and detailed accents give this set a distinctive Art Deco–inspired elegance that remains as relevant today as when it was first produced.

The fountain pen is fitted with a beautifully engraved 18K gold nib, displaying ornate scrollwork and the Cross signature. The nib is in excellent condition, delivering a smooth, precise, and responsive writing experience. It retains its original sharpness and consistency, making it ideal for both daily writing and long-term collection.

The ballpoint pen matches perfectly in design and finish, ensuring visual harmony and functional versatility. Together, they offer a complete luxury writing solution suitable for professional, ceremonial, or personal use.

The set is housed in its original Cross presentation box, lined with soft velvet and marked with the historic “CROSS – Since 1846” branding. Original documentation and refill packaging are included, further enhancing the provenance and collectability of this piece.

As a collector, I have carefully stored and maintained this set, ensuring that it remains in excellent technical and aesthetic condition. Both pens are fully functional, clean, and ready for immediate use or display.
