AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Cross writing set comprising two ballpoint pens and one mechanical pencil, three instruments in total.

The larger ballpoint has a dark-green body with gold-coloured trim. The second ballpoint has a slender silver-coloured body with gold-coloured details. The mechanical pencil has a slender silver-coloured body and matching clip. All three are Cross instruments, as confirmed by the seller.

All three instruments have been writing-tested by the seller and work. There are visible scratches and surface wear, with wear and tarnish around the metal fittings and refill mechanisms. The mechanical-pencil eraser shows use.

Representative dimensions for the green ballpoint are approximately 13.5 cm in length and 1 cm in body diameter, estimated from the photographs rather than physically measured. The other two instruments are slimmer and differ in size. Refills are pictured and included. No box or papers are included.

Estimated period: late 20th century; exact dates of manufacture are not verified.
Seller reference: 11-32/M7
